Re: autoreply function?

[Paul Franklin <paul@cs.washington.edu>]

Well, I do something sort of weird to achieve the same effect:

(defun pdf-gnus-group-hack-cwd ()
  "Change the current directory, so POP mail gets checked."
  (setq default-directory nnml-directory))
(add-hook 'gnus-group-mode-hook 'pdf-gnus-group-hack-cwd)

With this in place, I start with the keystrokes
	R C-x i
and then I use filename completion to enter the response I want.

You should probably not use nnml-directory, and you might actually
want to set it in a message-mode hook.  (Setting it here will only
set it for message buffers coming from Gnus.  I think.)  Another
idea is
  (setq default-directory (concat gnus-directory "tmpl/"))
(I was setting the current directory for different reasons, and
stumbled upon this "feature", which I originally considered a side
effect.)
