gnus-summary-enter-digest-group: How to set the summary line format?

[Christoph Conrad]

Hello,

i have a global setting of gnus-summary-line-format (show me the size
of the mail/article), and for several groups i have a local setting
("G p" in group buffer) for showing me the number of lines in the
mail/article.

The articles in the newsgroup "comp.risks" are in digest format. I
want to see the summary with the global format, so i have no local
setting. Works perfectly. But i want to see the articles in the DIGEST
summary buffer with another format!

How to achieve this?

Best regards,

You can add something to gnus-summary-generate-hook that checks the
group name and frobs gnus-summary-line-format accordingly.

Hallo Kai,

I thought about it; someone has to re-establish the global value of
gnus-summary-line-format when using this approach. In the end i came
up with another solution:

;; change summary line format in digests
(defadvice gnus-summary-read-group
  ( around gnus-summary-read-group-digest-summary-line act )
  (let ( (gnus-summary-line-format gnus-summary-line-format) )
    (when (and gnus-newsgroup-name
               (string-match "comp.risks$" gnus-newsgroup-name))
      (setq gnus-summary-line-format
            "%U%R%z%I%(%[%4L: %-20,20f%]%) %s\n"))
    ad-do-it))

Well, it's sufficient to just always set gnus-summary-line-format to
the right value.  In the special groups, set it to the special value,
in all other groups, set it to a general value.

Also, make-local-variable could be your friend.  Then you don't have
to change the general value at all, since the special value will be
local to that Summary buffer.
