sgnus-0.32 + tm-7.41.1 == problems

[Kai Grossjohann <grossjoh@charly.informatik.uni-dortmund.de>]

Hi all,

I'm trying to use these two together and notice a couple of problems
with composing a MIME message.  I'm not sure whether they are due to
tm or due to sgnus, but I thought maybe a few of you use that
combination, too, and can tell me something about it.

When I hit C-c C-c from a *Gnus Mail* buffer, the Gcc copy is not
translated before being written to disk.  Thus, I tried this, but it
failed:

    (remove-hook 'mail-send-hook 'mime-editor/maybe-translate)
    (add-hook 'gnus-inews-article-hook 'mime-editor/maybe-translate)

mime-editor/maybe-translate seems to be called after sgnus has mangled
it a bit (in particular, replaced the mail-header-separator line with
a blank line), so the function barfs about not being able to find the
mail-header-separator string.

I circumvent this problem by hitting C-c C-x C-z first, then typing
C-c C-c.  This, however, invokes mail-send-and-exit rather than
gnus-mail-send-and-exit (the keybinding code in tm-edit seems to do
strange things which don't seem to do the right thing right here).
Also, it asks me `Send buffer contents as mail? (y/n)' which I think
is strange because gnus-novice-user is nil.  Further, when I try to
send a second mail I get always asked `Unsent message, erase it?
(y/n)' or something.

Also, about signatures: When you use tm together with sgnus, it seems
that there are about five different packages all doing something with
signatures, and I have to turn them all off to get my own signature
handling (which is a one-line function that calls insert...)!  I know
that this is not a bug, but it sure is inconvenient.


Basically, tm seems to be a fine package (I like the automatic preview
stuff).  I'd be glad if anyone could help me with the problems above.

tia,
        kai
