(The new function nnml-request-post.) I hope it doesn't break anything for anyone. If it does, you know who to blame. The idea behind this is that you can store annotations to messages in your nnml groups. You do this by composing a followup using `S n' or `S N'. Then you insert the right group name in the Newsgroups header, write your stuff, and off you go. The implementation just consists of the simple function nnml-request-post which has been copied nearly verbatim from nnimap-request-post. A number of questions come to my mind: * Is this useful for anyone out there? * The implementation seems to be nearly independent of the backend. Some code reuse seems to be in order. * The code still has some warts: after `S n', the Newsgroups header is not filled out. You get a y/n prompt when attempting to post -- you can just answer yes, but it'd be nice if the prompt went away. (Gnus is checking the wrong server for the existence of a group.) * The code does not meaningfully work unless gnus-post-method is set to current. kai -- ~/.signature: No such file or directory
