Subject: Re: PGnus 0.9{5,7} hangs after generating summary buffer
Date: 01 Dec 1999 21:36:58 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <u2xn1ru4cut.fsf@muneca.sics.se> (raw)
In-Reply-To: lofgren@sics.se's message of "29 Sep 1999 10:26:23 +0200"
And the same is true in PGnus 0.98 and 0.99. When invoking
gnus-thread-hide-subtree in one of my groups, it goes into an infinite
loop. I posted the mail that causes this on Sep 29, and I can repost
it if you wish.
I'm not sure how it happens, but the way it's displayed when I don't
hide the threads make me believe that its subject line confuses the
threading quite a bit. It looks like this:
Subject: =?iso-8859-1?Q?RE:_[Linux]_glibc_2.1.x_/_wu-?=
=?iso-8859-1?Q?ftpd_<=3d2.5_/_BeroFTPD_/_lynx_/_vlo?=
=?iso-8859-1?Q?ck=0d=0a______________?=
=?iso-8859-1?Q?/_mc_/_glibc_2.0.x?=
Now, the article is in a thread by itself, so one would think that
hiding the threads wouldn't touch it. However, Gnus displays the
subject correctly (or at least I don't know it to be incorrect)
encoded in the summary buffer, but there is a newline in it, which
(from the font-lock) appears to make Gnus believe that the second line
is a reply to the first line.
I hope that this can be addressed before the release version is out,
since few people like their programs to hang. :)
Thanks,
Tom
