I have a "sent" nnmail group: (setq gnus-outgoing-message-group "nnml:sent") so, I wanted to display To: instead of From: headers in that group's summary buffer. Here are that group's parameters (last 5 lines are practically cut'n'pasted from the gnus info): ((display . all) (comment . "mail sent by me") (visible . t) (gnus-extra-headers quote (To)) (nnmail-extra-headers gnus-extra-headers) (gnus-summary-line-format . "%U%R%z%I%(%[%4L: %-20,20f%]%) %s") (gnus-ignored-from-addresses . "dima")) It does not work, hence my 2 questions: 1) Why? What have I done wrong? 2) Why is it all so complicated? What's the big deal with replacing "To:" with "From:" in a summary line? The headers are in the messages, why do I need to write all that stuff about extra headers and ignored addresses instead of just specifying a different gnus-summary-line-format?

You have to add the *-extra-headers part because Gnus uses the overview information *only* for building summaries, and the two variables make it so that the From header is inserted into the overview data (which is not there by default). Setting gnus-ignored-from-addresses is there for extra flexibility. Maybe you have more than one email address, or you want to display the To header for mails from frumple, too. Or something. Maybe a reasonable default for this variable is missing. kai -- I like _\bb_\bo_\bt_\bh kinds of music. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 21+ messages in thread

That's what I'm trying to do, in the groups parameters (G p) there is a line trying to set the format to a one from the gnus faq. Here's my 'sent' group parameters: ((display . all) (comment .

I think it might be the fact that you are using a dotted pair, when the docs say to use a list.

I.e. the specified format line is now used and not just ignored as it was previously (e.g. I can change it and it shows). But, I still cannot make it show the contents of 'To:' instead of 'From:'. I tried (gnus-extra-headers (To Newsgroups)) and (gnus-extra-headers '(To Newsgroups)) to no avail. It still only shows my own name (i.e. the 'From:' header. BTW. I'm sure the dots were not my own invention - they show up after setting some of the parameters via customize (I'm using XEmacs). Seems some kind of a conflict here.

Well, Gnus has variables which you can set to achieve some effect, for example `gnus-summary-mode-line-format'. You can set this to have Gnus use a different mode line everywhere. You can also set it's local value in a specific summary buffer, to get a different mode line there only. One way to do this is by adding `(gnus-summary-mode-line-format "blah")' to the group parameters. "Real" group paramaters, like `to-address', are not variables. You can't query their value by simply evaluating them. But they are consulted when particular things happen (`to-address' is used by `gnus-summary-post-news' for example). To differentiate variables and parameters in the group parameter list, real parameters have a dot between their name and value.
