Problems with PGnus 0.13

Problems with PGnus 0.13

[David Mentre]

 Hello all,

I'm using Pterodactyl Gnus 0.13/GNU Emacs 20.3. I've noticed to things:

1. I'm using the following hook in my .gnus to add some headers to
   standard headers to ignore:

(add-hook 'gnus-started-hook 
	  '(lambda()      
	     (setq gnus-ignored-headers (append gnus-ignored-headers 
						'("^X-Content-Length:"
						  "^X-Mailer:"
						  "^X-Newsreader:"
						  "^X-Modappbot-Version:"
						  "^Mail-Copies-To:"
						  )))))

I get this error message:
  Symbol's value as variable is void: gnus-ignored-headers

Why ? I thought gnus-ignored-headers was defined once gnus was
started. This hook used to work with Gnus 5.6.41.


2. While positing an article with iso-8859-1 caracters in it (ç), I
   noticed the following header on this article:

Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
                           ^^^

Is it right to have 7bit Content-Transfer-Encoding while there are 8bit
characters in the article ?

Regards,
d.

Apparently not. Take a look at gnus-art.el

I do this in my .gnus.el:
	(setq gnus-ignored-headers "^Received:\\|^Xref:\\|^Lines:")
which works fine.

This happens to me, and is the topic of the "7bit and iso-8859-1"
thread.

It's defined in gnus-art.el, so you should `require' gnus-art before
altering variables defined there.

Probably fixed in pgnus 0.14.  Perhaps.  Maybe.  Maybe not.

Here's what I have.  I looks like I tried to do something similar, and
found out I had to move it to the `gnus-article-mode-hook'.

(defun md5i-gnus-load-function ()
  (mapcar (lambda (x) (add-to-list 'gnus-ignored-headers x))
          '("^X-From-Line" "^Precedence" "^Errors-To" "^Reply-Path"
            "^Old-" "^X-Pgp")))
(add-hook 'gnus-article-mode-hook 'md5i-gnus-load-function)

Thank you (and also to Jon and Lars). Works much better now. And I have
understood why it didn't work. :)
