Timestamps

Timestamps

[Stefanie Teufel]

Huhu,

sorry for the stupid question, but I was not able to find a solution
in the manual. I have something like the following in my Gnus.el:

(setq gnus-group-line-format 
 "%M%S%5y (%4i) / %-5t : %(%-50,50g%)  (%I)    %6,6~ (cut 2)d\n")
(add-hook 'gnus-select-group-hook 'gnus-group-set-timestamp)

But I don't like the output "990405", what I'd really like to see is
something like "05/04/1999". Any hints?

TIA,

Stefanie

Hi Steffi,

I've tried the following which seems to do what you want:

(setq gnus-group-line-format "%M\%S\%L\%P\%5y: %(%-40,40g%) %uT\n")

(defun gnus-user-format-function-T (dummy)
  (format-time-string "%D - %T"))

My group-line now is

  3      2: nnml+nk:xemacs                           04/06/99 - 18:18:10
* 3      0: nnml+nk:ding                             04/06/99 - 18:18:10

Hth, cheers, norbert.

Blah ..

sorry for the follow-up but this version is seriously flawed, since
all group lines will be updated  ...

I ended up with (horrors)

(setq gnus-group-line-format 
  "%M\%S\%L\%P\%5y: %(%-40,40g%) %2,2~(cut 4)d %2,2~(cut 4)d %-4,4d\n")

I tried something along the lines gnus-find-group-parameter, but (on a 
first impression) don't have the necessary group-name.

Any leads? 

TIA, norbert.

The group name is in gnus-tmp-group.

While we're talking about dates.. I use the X-sent feature, and I
love it. I would like to have the normal date header as well
though. Is it possible to have both at the same time?

This will be possible in 0.83.

How?

Or do you mean 0.84?

        Yes. I submitted a patch against 0.83 to do this.
