Hi all.
I've been trying to set up the XEmacs gnus so that I can decode
messages automatically without user intervention. If the decoder tries
to decode a file that already exists, just overwrite it. Continue
without exception.
To that end, I've got the following set up in my .emacs:
(require 'gnus-uu)
(setq gnus-uu-be-dangerous 't)
(setq gnus-uu-grabbed-file-functions 'gnus-uu-grab-move)
What I've read in the documentation is that setting be-dangerous to
true means that the decoder will overwrite anything. However, it's not
doing this. When I mark several messages when decode them with X u, it
tells me that a file already exists, ring the bell and stops the
decoding process.
I really would like it if it didn't ring the bell, and I need it to
continue with the next message instead of stopping.
What's wrong? How do I set up gnus to do this?
Thanks for any help.

This should be
(setq gnus-uu-be-dangerous t)

Uh, aren't those semantically identical?

Not in this case. :-) The code checks whether the variable is `t'.
(The other two valid values are nil and `ask'.)

Yes, but quoting a self-quoting symbol like t, nil, or :keyword is
supposed to be a no-op. Unless the code in question bypasses the Lisp
reader.
(eq t 't)
==> t
(eq nil 'nil)
==> t
