Gnus 5.8.8 and gnus-summary-line-format (%f)

[Peter.Weiss]

Hello all,

    having upgraded to version 5.8.8 I also fiddled a little around with
    gnus-summary-line-format:


(setq gnus-extra-headers               '(To Newsgroups)
      nnmail-extra-headers             gnus-extra-headers
      gnus-summary-line-format         "%U%R%z%I%(%[%4L: %-20,20f%]%) %s\n"
      ;; well, that's not the best but works for all environments:
      gnus-ignored-from-addresses      (concat user-mail-address ".*"))

    The thing that this setting doesn't match is %f formatstring, when using
    another "From:" header for my own address.

    Is there way to force the formatting to use the "To:" field instead the
    "From:" field for some special groups, even when the From: header differs
    from my own address?

     Thanks for hints -- Peter

You miss one step, rebuilding the NOV databases.  If you are using
nnml, `M-x nnml-generate-nov-databases RET' does it.

Hello,

    thanks for the quick answer, but sorry, this doesn't work. This copy of
    a summary buffer shows the situation before and after setting the "From"
    header in that nnfolder+archive group:

!  [  22: -> ding@gnus.org    ] Summary Line based on folder type 
!  [  29: Peter.Weiss@Class.de] Gnus 5.8.8 and gnus-summary-line-format (%f)

    Of course I prefer the first one.

       Peter

Opps, I made a mistake.  

gnus-ignored-from-addresses is a regexp. If you want to ignore all
from addresses, you can

(setq gnus-ignored-from-addresses ".*")

If you only want to ignore a few your own address, the following may
help.

(setq gnus-ignored-from-addresses
      (concat "(nobody)\\|" (regexp-quote user-mail-address)
        "\\|" (regexp-quote YOUR-SECOND-MAIL-ADDRESS)
        "\\|" (regexp-quote YOUR-THIRD-MAIL-ADDRESS)))

[ (nobody) is used when there is no FROM address. ]
