Archiving messages and nnir

Archiving messages and nnir

[Didier Verna]

  Hi!

  I've just ran on a small inconvenience a minute ago.

- My mails are stored on a imap server.
- I wanted to reply to an old message, so I did a 'G G' on a group, and
  found the message in question.
- I replied to it, but the X-Draft-From header is set to 'nnir
  something' instead of the original group the message came from.

As a consequence, Gnus could not archive my reply properly. I have no
time to look into this right now, so if someone wants to beat me to
it...

When you've found the message you've been looking for in the nnir
buffer, hit `A W' or `A T' on it and you'll switch to that message (or
complete thread) in the original imap group.  Then all your posting
styles and archive settings apply as usual.

| `gnus-summary-refer-thread', bound by default in summary buffers to `A
| T', will first warp to the original group before it works its magic and
| includes all the articles in the thread. From here you can read, move
| and delete articles, but also copy them, alter article marks, whatever.

  Oh, right, I missed that. Thank you very much!
