Subject: Make nndrafts quit being overly helpful
Date: Fri, 08 Feb 2002 22:05:26 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <m1y9i3nqah.fsf@reader.newsguy.com> (raw)
A couple of months or so ago there were some changes made to nndrafts
that causes a behavior that is irritating, but more over I think it is
wrong behavior as well.
For several years now I've been using a technique to edit and save
messages or several messages by using either `e' or in the case of a
thread I might use S O m (gnus-uu-digest-mail-forward) to first create
a sort of digest. Then edit the whole thing.
I have a home made function I then invoke that sends the edited
message where ever I want it on my groups. I then kill the edit
buffer. My function is hooked into all edit modes so I can invoke
it in any composition or edit buffer.
For some time now, if the editing lasts long enough for auto save to
happen then the killed buffer (`S O m' `F' `R' but not `e') reappears
in nndrafts.
This can also happen if you start a composition then decide to trash
it. It might show up in nndrafts causing confusion as to what the game
plan was.
A purposely killed buffer should *NOT* reappear in nndrafts. No
killed or otherwise crashed, demised, curtailed or eschewed buffer
should.
Only drafts from either C-x C-s or preferable C-x C-d should go
there. Nothing else. After all it is a `drafts' group. Not a
recovery, crash, recycle, second chance, data recovery group.
Or AA clinic. :-)
Maybe it is difficult to tell the difference between a willfully
killed and crashed buffer, but in fact neither should be going to
drafts.
Do we need an nnrecover or nnMSrecyle_bin...? Seriously, that may be
a good thing to have. But it should not be drafts.
Can I do something locally to control this? I mean, short of major
coding.
