Subject: message sending functions harmonization
Date: Tue, 11 Dec 2001 17:00:12 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <mux4rmxpx0z.fsf@uzeb.lrde.epita.fr> (raw)


        The different message sending functions (from group and summary
buffer) are not very coherent. For instance, gnus-summary-mail prepares a mail
message but don't have the ability to use the current group, and
gnus-summary-post-news unconditionally use the current group to prepare the
news.

        I'd like to make these function more consistent, and use a prefix
convention more similar to that of their group buffer counterpart:
- by default, just prepare simple mail or news
- with ARG, use the current group (the counterpart of 'group under point' in
  the group buffer)
- with ARG = 1, prompt for group


This will change the default behavior of one of these functions, but we gain
in coherence. Comments ?
