Well, I finally managed to upgrade to sgnus-0.78 from gnus-5.0.15 - definitely a change for the better! (Thank you Lars and everyone else!) However, in doing so I found that much of my old setup broke, and while fixing things I came across a few annoyances. I've tried keeping track of things said on the list, but I may be repeating things that other people have said - if so, sorry for the repetition. In any case, here's what I encountered: * Mailcrypt 3.4 doesn't know about message mode Mailcrypt doesn't know about message mode, so when trying to sign a message, it doesn't manage to exclude the header. This can be fixed by adding: (message-mode (encrypt . mc-encrypt-message) (sign . mc-sign-message)) to the mc-modes-alist variable declared in mailcrypt.el. Also, in order for Mailcrypt to be enabled by default in message mode, you need to add a (add-hook 'message-setup-hook 'mc-install-write-mode) to the mailcrypt initialization code in your .emacs file. (This was easy to figure out, but it could also go in the sgnus FAQ until Mailcrypt gets updated.) * gnus-mail-self-blind doesn't exist! I looked for it in the source - it isn't there! But it is in the documentation. Now, you can of course get the same effect by setting message-default-mail-headers, but I wouldn't mind it if the variable made a reappearance. * no variable to customize the signature separator This is something I had to fix manually before, but it would be cool if sgnus had a variable for it. In message-insert-signature, defined in message.el, a "\n\n-- \n" is inserted just before the signature. Now, if you use PGP, these two dashes become "- --" after a message is signed - most annoying. I simply went in and changed this to "\n", so now my signature doesn't look quite so funny. * no explicit documentation on eliminating the "Gcc" header The fact that setting gnus-message-archive-group to nil eliminates the Gcc headers from messages isn't indicated in the "Archived Messages" part of the info page. If you prefer to manage your message drafts in other ways, this is something nice to know. I think that's it. Now, back to enjoying sgnus! --Anil ------------------------------------------------------------------- Anil Somayaji soma@cs.unm.edu (505)883-3881 http://www.cs.unm.edu/~soma -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 iQCVAwUBMX5uOkLkmkLHxWM5AQHtoQP/U/Ad+41mh+xIcYriz25AlemXi1vRStEc Xg0FGAwvtCPVORCDmsjskjK95Nc9NHTW5Em63cxjRhQU0vXQla2lg0LYLGbREcCS SNyNkTrAOoO7heJolTTlCkgAGiWVVfyzFxDUjgIKPEIovX+qDPY4rakPpOwvNDK6 dZVGWJfSOE4= =Ooc2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
