gnus doesn't obey header settings.

gnus doesn't obey header settings.

[Maciej Matysiak]

hi,

for some sad reason i had to set up my gnus environment from scratch.
the only problem i have so far is with viewing articles. here's snippet from
my .gnus file:

(require 'gnus-art)
(setq gnus-treat-hide-boring-headers nil)
(setq gnus-show-all-headers t)
(setq gnus-visible-headers nil)
(setq gnus-ignored-headers
      (concat
       "^\\("
       (regexp-opt
	'(
	  "Message-ID"
	  "Received"
	  "References"
	  "X-Cache"
	  "X-MimeOLE"
	  "X-MSMail-Priority"
	  "Xref"
	  ))
       "\\):")
      )

gnus should show all the article's headers except these specified above, i
think, but it shows all the headers. any idea why? missing hook, forgotten
setq? i hope that the regexp looks ok.


and another thing:

(setq gnus-sorted-header-list
      (concat
       "^\\("
       (regexp-opt
	'(
	  "From"
	  "To"
	  "Cc"
	  "Newsgroups"
	  "Followup-To"
	  "Subject"
	  "Date"
	  "X-Sent"
	  "Organization"
	  "X-Mailer"
	  "User-Agent"
	  ))
       "\\):")
      )

the above should tell gnus to display article's headers in such order, but has
no effect at all. please someone enlighten me before i start reading sources ;)

i'm using oort from cvs (updated few hours ago).

Don't set `gnus-show-all-headers' to t if you want some headers to be
hidden.

Make it a list of regexps not _one_ single regexp.

This means to show all headers, regardless of other variables.

done. no change :( gnus still shows all the headers in articles.

like that:

(setq gnus-sorted-header-list
      '(
       "^From:"
       "^To:"
       "^Cc:"
       "^Newsgroups:"
       "^Followup-To:"
       "^Subject:"
       "^Date:"
       "^X-Sent:"
       "^Organization:"
       "^X-Mailer:"
       "^User-Agent:"
      ))

? still no effect, gnus shows the headers in chaotic way.

how can i debug why gnus ignores the settings? i'm really confused.
(why only headers' settings?)

What's your value for gnus-visible-headers and gnus-ignored-headers
now?

I have a setting for gnus-visible-headers and
gnus-sorted-header-list.  This appears to work.

`gnus-visible-headers' is a variable declared in Lisp.
  -- loaded from "gnus-art"

Value: nil

Documentation:
*All headers that do not match this regexp will be hidden.
This variable can also be a list of regexp of headers to remain visible.
If this variable is non-nil, `gnus-ignored-headers' will be ignored.



`gnus-ignored-headers' is a variable declared in Lisp.
  -- loaded from "gnus-art"

Value: "^Received:"

Documentation:
*All headers that start with this regexp will be hidden.
This variable can also be a list of regexps of headers to be ignored.
If `gnus-visible-headers' is non-nil, this variable will be ignored.

despite the setting, gnus shows the received headers in articles.

well, i must have really bad luck then.

btw., you don't set the "mail-followup-to" header, do you really want to
get a copy of reply to your mails?

Hm.  What happens when you type `t' on a message?  Does that make the
headers go away?  And does another `t' bring them back?

Eek.  I'm reading this via the news group on quimby.  Hm.  Do I have
an MCT header?  Maybe the gateway should convert betwene MCT and MFT?

No, you don't have an MCT, and I really think that auto-generating the
MFT header is a *bad* idea!  Down that path lies madness!  Don't let
it turn into another Reply-To header! :)

I'm still catching up on some old threads...

The gateway should not touch MFT.  It would suffice for the gateway to
preserve MCT; mail followups (from Gnus, at least) will respect MCT.

And what will be with MFT on the news side? Will it be silently dropped?

You're talking about mail->news?  I don't think it matters much, since
news clients won't be making followups by mail.  It might as well be
preserved, for the sake of minimal munging.

Strange.  It works for me with 

          (setq gnus-visible-headers nil) 
          (setq gnus-ignored-headers ...

Yes.

Well, there is a bug that makes Gnus ignore the _last_ entry in the
list, but the rest of the entries are sorted for me.

edebug `article-hide-headers' in gnus-art.el.  See
<info://Gnus/Troubleshooting>.
