Subject: Odd subst-char-in-region in header parsing
Date: 17 May 1998 14:19:36 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ycqvhr42213.fsf@portD41.Generation.NET> (raw)
Could anyone explain to me what the subst-char-in-region in
gnus-get-newsgroup-headers in gnus-sum.el is there for? It replaces tabs with
spaces in the nntp-server-buffer, which of course breaks the overview headers
badly. Is this only supposed to be run for non-overview headers? I don't get
it.
(defun gnus-get-newsgroup-headers (&optional dependencies force-new)
(let ((cur nntp-server-buffer)
(dependencies
(or dependencies
(save-excursion (set-buffer gnus-summary-buffer)
gnus-newsgroup-dependencies)))
headers id id-dep ref-dep end ref)
(save-excursion
(set-buffer nntp-server-buffer)
;; Translate all TAB characters into SPACE characters.
(subst-char-in-region (point-min) (point-max) ?\t ? t)
(run-hooks 'gnus-parse-headers-hook)
