Decoding QP stuff...

Decoding QP stuff...

[visigoth]

So--I recently switched back to using FSF Gnu-Emacs from using Xemacs.
Now--I've liked being able to read quoted-printable stuff in messages
that were sent, and I figure out the call I needed to do in Gnu-Emacs
to get high-ascii to be displayed in X.  Unfortunately, whatever
mechanism was turning QP into high ascii appears to not be running now.

Can anybody point me at a hook to add/variable to frob to make this
work again?

Thanks,
John.

; untested
(add-hook 'gnus-article-display-hook 'gnus-article-de-quoted-unreadable)

I hope I guessed right,

Yup.  That decodes the quoted printable stuff.  Another question

Hmm.  What can I do if I want it to do likewise for the Summary
buffer?  In Xemacs, I think I was getting the real character or
characters, and in Emacs, I just get a ? for any QP character...

That would horribly break threading.

(setq gnus-parse-headers-hook (list 'gnus-decode-rfc1522))

This is the default.

Oh, well.  The ability to have one article be a member of two threads
is theoretically elegant, but as with most such things, won't be
happening Any Time Soon.

A theoretical question: so, what if someone -did- construct such a
references header?  How would Gnus react?

It sure is.  I discovered the problem after poking around in the
sources for a while.  I have a habit of starting up Gnus w/o high
ascii (glyphs over 126) turned on--then turn it on when I come across
a place I need it.  I've been too lazy to add this to my .emacs like I
should.  Well, the gnus-summary-display-table gets built when Gnus
starts up, so even though I called (standard-display-european), it
leaves the ?'s in the summary buffer.

I have my fix.

Gnus could use See-Also: for the remaining articles.

Defined in Son-of-RFC 1036.

Yup.  This is on the todo list.

I'm not sure what you mean by "high ascii", but if you want to have QP
decoded in the article buffer, you should add
`gnus-article-de-quoted-unreadable' to `gnus-article-display-hook'.

A few reasons.  First, I'm the gnu-emacs maintainer here at the CMU
SCS, and I figured I should really be using what I'm attempting to
support.  So, I compiled up the latest version and tried it out.
Well, I'd forgotten just how much faster Emacs is than XEmacs--on both
X and non X stuff.  So, I completely switched back.  The main things I
miss are the better font support in XEmacs (multiple height fonts in
one window), and more importantly, the ability to attach to a
currently running Emacs session.

I use a local communication tool that displays messages in an emacs
buffer, and I like to leave this tool running when I'm gone.  It's
tremendously useful to be able to attach to the emacs with this in it
when I'm home, so I can see what's been going on while I was away.
I'm getting used to not being able to do that.

Still--FSF is a great deal faster.  And I like that.

John.

Is this gnuclient/gnuserver, or something else? If it's gnuclient, you
can run that under emacs19, I'm pretty sure...  If it's something
else, what's it called, so I can look for it in the xemacs docs?  (I
run emacs on machines where I need to get work done, but xemacs on
machines where I want pretty colors in tty mode. It's still visibly
slow in tty mode though...)

Get gnuserv from ftp.wellfleet.com:/netman/psmith.  You can use it to
have a running Emacs execute arbitrary ELisp stuff.
make-frame-on-display is an especially interesting piece of ELisp
stuff for you it would seem :-)
