Hi all,
here is a problem which I couldn't find a solution for. If you have
code hooked into message-setup-hook or message-header-setup-hook which
performs various actions depending on the current group, you would
often want to have this code referring to the original group of a
draft when pressing e in the drafts group. Good examples are changing
ispell-local-dictionary or pgg-default-user-id. Since X-Draft-From
holds the name of the group in which the message was originally
created, the obvious way is to make the code refer to this header.
However, message-fetch-field / message-field-value don't seem to have
access to this variable by the time message-(header-)setup-hook is
run. What would be the right way to accomplish my goal?
Thanks in advance,
Elias

At that time, the `message-required-headers' variable has the
value of X-Draft-From header as:
(X-Draft-From
lambda nil
(gnus-inews-make-draft-meta-information
"GROUP_NAME" '(ARTICLES)))
How about the following snippet?
(with-temp-buffer
(message-generate-headers message-required-headers)
(message-fetch-field "X-Draft-From"))
I used the following hook to verify that it works.
(add-hook
'message-header-setup-hook
(lambda nil
(let ((x-draft-from (with-temp-buffer
(message-generate-headers
message-required-headers)
(message-fetch-field "X-Draft-From"))))
(save-restriction
(widen)
(message-goto-body)
(insert (format "X-Draft-From's value is `%s'.\n"
x-draft-from))))))

No. That doesn't work for me at all. I've just copied this very
snippet and rubbed out all of my own adjustments to
message-header-setup-hook. When I pressed F in order to respond to
your message, the line reporting the value of X-Draft-From is inserted
below the yanked in message of yours. Half way through I hit C-c C-d
and quit gnus. After restarting gnus I pressed e on the draft response
in the drafts buffer. This time the hook didn't output anything at
all. Wondering about it and pressing C-c C-k straight away (answering
no to the question whether to delete the backup file) made things even
worse. Trying to leave the summary buffer produced a message saying
something about changing to a deleted buffer but didn't return to the
Group buffer.
By the way, I'm using No Gnus and emacs devel (latest packages from
debian sid).
Regards,
Elias
