no gnus-mime-part-reply

[jidanni]

Gentlemen, I have received a Content-Type: multipart/mixed message (from
Debian BTS). I wish very much to reply to part 2 of
[1. text/plain]
[2. message/rfc822]
[3. text/plain]
[4. text/plain]
[5. message/rfc822]
However as much as I place the cursor upon "[2. message/rfc822]" and hit
K... there seems to be no perfect command. (Even K C-h doesn't help,
maybe due to my http://jidanni.org/comp/configuration/.)
Let it be known that I was forced to do use
"| runs the command gnus-mime-pipe-part" to pipe that part to procmail,
so I could then reply to it as a simple message.

Anyway, gnus needs a full suite of r R etc. that can just act on a mime part.

How about `gnus-summary-enter-digest-group' (`C-d', `A D'), followed
by `R'?

Bye, Reiner.

You don't have to. Now that I discovered C-d, I am in heaven.

The problem is when we went to gnus school, we only learned C-d was to
be used for digests, E.g., RISKS DIGEST.

Therefore, the documentation of C-d needs to promote it more, "the
household knife that will be the last you need to buy, for so many
tasks!"

Furthermore, C-d indents, and even uses 1a. 3b. etc, instead of a flat:
[1. text/plain]
[2. message/rfc822]
[3. text/plain]
[4. text/plain]
[5. message/rfc822]
Therefore the above flat list needs to take a lesson from C-d, and
though not indenting, still needs to reveal structure, by using 1a. 2c, etc.

You can use `C-d C-n C-n C-n R' as well.

Maybe the `gnus-mime-part-reply' command will be the one like:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun gnus-mime-part-reply ()
  (interactive)
  (let ((id (get-text-property (point) 'gnus-part)))
    (when id
      (let ((gnus-original-article-buffer
	     (nth 1 (assq id gnus-article-mime-handle-alist))))
	(gnus-summary-reply)))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Although I don't feel like very much making `reply', `wide-reply',
`very-wide-reply', `reply-with-original', `reply-broken-reply-to',
`mail-forward', `followup',...
