Using In-Reply-To field

Using In-Reply-To field

[Vincent Bernat]

Hi (and good year) !

Some news gateway and some mail clients don't use References field. Is
it possible then to use the In-Reply-To field when References is not
available ?

Yes.  Gnus will do this by default.  However, news servers don't
include the In-Reply-To header in the NOV files, so Gnus won't know
about these headers when reading news groups.  Unless you set
`nntp-nov-is-evil'.

Is it possible to set this just for one groupe (since there is a
drawback in performance) ?

I think you should be able to so from `gnus-summary-mode-hook'.

Maybe a group-local variable would be more appropriate?

The problem is that nntp.el looks at `nntp-nov-is-evil' not from the
summary buffer, but from the nntp buffer.  So the global value of the
variable has to be set.

That should be no problem, though.  You can just say

(setq nntp-nov-is-evil
      (string= gnus-newsgroup-name "group.where.nov.is.evil"))

in `gnus-summary-mode-hook'.

Does it work to add nntp-nov-is-evil to gnus-newsgroup-variables?

Oh, I didn't know about that one.  Yes, it looks like that would do
the trick.
