This wasn't very nice - I run a cron job at 4:30am each weekday to get 
the mail and inc it (in disconnected mode) later on the El on my way
to work.  This patch seems to mean that I'll have to put Gnus in
disconnected mode and manually deny the NNTP server before incing my
mail spool files.  Is there an easier way to do it?

Well, you could use advice to 'undo' this change.  I think more people
(me included) like the change.  If you want to give it a try, this
untested code (for .gnus) should work...

    (defadvice gnus-request-scan (around simmonmt-gnus activate)
      "Force scan even if unplugged."
      (let ((gnus-plugged t))
	ad-do-it)))

You should enable advice first (I do this in .emacs) ...

	(setq ad-activate-on-definition t)
	(if (fboundp 'ad-start-advice)  ;appeared in 19.29?
	    (ad-start-advice))

Re: Quassia Gnus v0.12 is released

[Norman Walsh]

I have NTemacs 19.34.6.  I downloaded qgnus 0.12, copied the
cus*.el and wid*.el stuff from custom-1.9960 into the lisp
directory and ran make.

Next I adjusted my load path to include qgnus 0.12 deleted (er,
moved) .news* and .gnus*, and moved Mail.

Finally, I created .gnus.el containing only

  (setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "news.berkshire.net"))

quit and restarted emacs.

When I start gnus, it prints "gnus-start...done" in the
minibuffer and hangs.  If I hit ^G a bunch of times, something
about "gnus-group" flashes by in the minibuffer, and I regain
control of emacs, but nothing ever comes of gnus (the splash
screen doesn't even go away).

Thoughts?

A rewrite of the following example in gnus.texi is necessary. 

,-----
| @vindex gnus-group-highlight
| Highlighting in the group buffer is controlled by the
| @code{gnus-group-highlight} variable.  This is an alist with elements

| something non-@code{nil}, the @var{face} will be used on the line.

| 	   
| @lisp	 
| (setq gnus-group-highlight
| 	`(((> unread 200) . 
| 	   ,(custom-face-lookup "Red" nil nil t nil nil))
| 	  ((and (< level 3) (zerop unread)) . 
| 	   ,(custom-face-lookup "SeaGreen" nil nil t nil nil))
| 	  ((< level 3) . 
| 	   ,(custom-face-lookup "SpringGreen" nil nil t nil nil))
| 	  ((zerop unread) . 
| 	   ,(custom-face-lookup "SteelBlue" nil nil t nil nil))
| 	  (t .

Here is an -- mostly untested -- translation to `face-spec-set':

(face-spec-set 'my-group-face-1 '((t (:foreground "Red" :bold t))))
(face-spec-set 'my-group-face-2 '((t (:foreground "SeaGreen" :bold t))))
(face-spec-set 'my-group-face-3 '((t (:foreground "SpringGreen" :bold t))))
(face-spec-set 'my-group-face-4 '((t (:foreground "SteelBlue" :bold t))))
(face-spec-set 'my-group-face-5 '((t (:foreground "SkyBlue" :bold t))))

(setq gnus-group-highlight
      '(((> unread 200) . my-group-face-1)
	((and (< level 3) (zerop unread)) . my-group-face-2)
	((< level 3) . my-group-face-3)
	((zerop unread) . my-group-face-4)
	(t . my-group-face-5)))

Sure.  Just call `nnml-request-scan' (or whatever) directly.

Try to `(setq debug-on-quit t)' and then `C-g' when it hangs.  Mail me
the resulting backtrace.

Wouldn't it be much more consistent if nnml were just another server,
so I could J a and J r it to my heart's content?

Uhm.  Yes, it's a bit kludgy to totally disable `nn*-request-scan'
when unplugged, but I don't know what else to do to make `g' work
properly when unplugged.  I don't want to put nnml under control of
the agent -- that would be a complete waste of time and disk space.

Why can't a check be made in the nn*-request-scan functions to see if
a) the server in question is under control of the agent and b) if the
program is plugged.  If a) is no, or if a) is no and b) is yes, allow
the fetching of mail.  I would imagine that this check could be done
in gnus-request-scan, couldn't it?

> I don't want to put nnml under control of

Why not?  If nothing else, it would provide consistency.  That said,
it's already under control of the agent - I want to be able to remove
said control.

I can't be the only one who fetchmails his mail, disconnects, and incs
it while disconnected.  I have complete control over mail outside of
nnml: fetchmail gets it, and sendmail takes care of queueing it until
I connect again.  I want to be able to tell Gnus that it should inc
mail whenever I hit `gnus-group-get-new-news' and that it should
always pass mail along to sendmail when I'm done with a message.

It would be consistent; it just wouldn't be very nice.

You're probably not the only one, but I don't think this is the usual
mode of operations.  I'd suggest sticking `nnml-request-scan' in a
hook run off of `gnus-group-get-new-news'.

Well, I've been using CVS for quite some time.  The reason for last
