Subject: resending selected messages. Bug or feature (I say bug...:-( )
Date: 03 Jun 1998 09:47:23 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <wh4sy3ncz8.fsf@viffer.oslo.metis.no> (raw)
Yesterday a colleague of mine was going to resend a message that had
bounced to another address
S D r
Unfortunately some ~40 messages in the summary buffer of that mail
group were selected (not with process marks, but *selected*), and Gnus
did a resend of all of them to a poor unwitting receipient.
Unfortunately I didn't discover that Gnus was the culprit until after
I had tried to put the blame on some user friendly program like
Outlook, so I feel a bit embarrased.
I tested out that this "feature" is a part of 5.6.9 as well. I think
this is a dangerous and confusing mis-feature and should be removed.
Just my 15 øre...
