(All of these are with emacs-version "19.14 XEmacs Lucid (beta24)" and tm-7.68; yes, I know tm is responsible for some of this, but I figure other people on the ding list are using tm also...) Fixes, workarounds, suggestions for dealing with the following are welcome: - [tm bug] middle-click on a URL in a MIME article leaves point in the MIME-View buffer. (middle-click in a non-MIME article doesn't.) - [tm bug, related] 's' in a MIME-View buffer doesn't go back to the summary buffer (really annoying given the previous bug). - point seems to jump around in the summary buffer when selecting the next article; this didn't happen with 5.0.15 (on beta21, but I don't think anything in that area of XEmacs changed). - [tm bug?] Is there a way to get message-mode to add my .signature after I hit C-c C-c but before tm-edit MIME-fies the message? tm-edit doesn't put in the proper signature separator. (This should only happen in news buffers; mail shouldn't get a .signature unless I ask for it.) - the signature separator, like mail-header-separator, should be added to paragraph-separate when in message-mode so that filling the last paragraph of a message doesn't fill your .signature with it. - it would be nice if you could specify which headers should be added at setup time and which should be added at post time. I have a random organization chooser (code available if anyone cares, it uses cookie.el) but it'd be nice to know what organization a post will wind up with while I'm writing it. - W w is broken somehow; it's filling things without paying any attention to paragraph separators. I am using filladapt, but it didn't do this before. -- Christopher Davis <ckd@kei.com> <URL: http://www.kei.com/homepages/ckd/ > "I conclude that the CDA is unconstitutional and that the First Amendment denies Congress the power to regulate protected speech on the Internet." -- Judge Stewart Dalzell in _ACLU v.

Examine the hook order carefully on message-send-hook, and arrange to have your .signature inserter put ahead of mime-editor/maybe-translate. There's message insert-signature, and message-news-p, and message-mail-p for deciding when to do what. The message setup hooks are broken though, so you can't customize your .signature by hook alone based on News -vs- Mail (unless this has very recently been fixed). ckd> - the signature separator, like mail-header-separator, should be ckd> added to paragraph-separate when in message-mode so that ckd> filling the last paragraph of a message doesn't fill your ckd> .signature with it.

I'm still a ways from regaining the customization I had with the separated modes.

To fill the paragraph I am now responding to took a M-q on the bottom line (first line was not filled). M-q on the top line did nothing. C-e hit SPC at the end, then M-q again. :-(. I've also noticed there are line lengths that result in an extra blank line being inserted when you SPC at the end. For example, the line just above is the magic length. If I move the cursor up to it and hit SPC at the end, a line gets inserted. This is wrong, but this is filladapt/XEmacs and not Gnus. -- steve@miranova.com baur Unsolicited commercial e-mail will be proofread for $250/hour.

SLB> I don't notice this. Does the behavior change if you add (setq SLB> gnus-auto-center-summary nil) to your .gnus? Yes. The jumping around goes away if I do that. I should be more specific about the jumping around: it basically goes something like the following paragraph. (I might have the order a little off, it's hard to be sure what happens exactly when on X. It's easier to see on a slow tty.) The cursor moves to the next line, near the beginning (one character in, I think). The "R" mark gets added. The new message is displayed. The cursor moves to the colon. The buffer moves up a line. It's REALLY distracting. (Even worse on a tty :) SLB> This kind of sounds like the XEmacs off-by-1 auto-center bug, but I SLB> thought it was fixed. I discovered how much I hated auto-centering SLB> so I have left it turned off in my environment. I do like auto-centering (though it seems to be working differently than I remember it). I also thought the OBOB was fixed, and in any case I shouldn't be seeing it, because as a workaround when it WAS a problem I turned off the horizontal scrollbar and the modeline shadow, so I don't get any clipped lines (and wasn't that what was triggering it?). The auto-centering behavior I remember, when used with a 5-line summary buffer, always auto-centered on the second line from the top, giving you one line of "look-behind" and three of "look-ahead". It did *not* do what Gnus 5.2 is doing, which is to auto-center on the second line from the top unless there would be blank lines in the window. (I *want* the blank lines, that's how I can tell I'm at the end of the group without having to look at the modelines.) ckd> - [tm bug?] Is there a way to get message-mode to add my .signature ckd> after I hit C-c C-c but before tm-edit MIME-fies the message? ckd> tm-edit doesn't put in the proper signature separator.

Well, that I can fix. Something like this (as yet untested :) should work.

Well, okay, but that's not causing my problem; the replacement of "gnus-article-word-wrap" with "gnus-article-fill-cited-article" is causing the problem.
