Hi,
(for example) cron sends me programs' outputs with the head-
ers:
| MIME-Version: 1.0
| Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
I want to copy the output to a new buffer and then do some
stuff there.
O b (gnus-summary-save-article-body-file) will a) save the
article body "washed", i. e. for example word-wrapped &
Co. and b) prepend "X-Gnus-Coding-System: -*- coding: utf-8;
-*-" (?).
C-o (gnus-summary-save-article-mail) will a) save the head-
ers as well and b) not decode the body (which is probably
not a problem for "text/plain; charset=UTF-8", but still).
(O f (gnus-summary-save-article-file) seems to be doing the
same as O b, o (gnus-summary-save-article) the same as C-o.)
Both commands have the disadvantage of saving the article to
a file which I have to then visit, edit, save, delete in-
stead of just creating a new buffer.
How can I copy the "raw", but decoded article body to a new
buffer?
TIA,
Tim

`C-u C-u g' and then `C-x C-w' the buffer to a file?

(I have used C-u g thousands of times, but was never aware
of C-u C-u g; thanks :-).)
That works fine when I type C-u C-u g, however when I run
| M-: (gnus-summary-show-article 16) RET
I get prompted "View as charset:" which somewhat defeats the
purpose of automation.
Any advice for that?
Tim

(gnus-summary-show-article 16) ≊ C-u 16 g
C-u C-u g ≊ (gnus-summary-show-article '(16))
Cf. (info "(elisp)Prefix Command Arguments")

Ah! With that, something like:
| (defun tl-ab2nb nil
| (interactive)
| (gnus-summary-show-article '(16))
| (gnus-summary-select-article-buffer)
| (article-goto-body)
| (copy-to-buffer (generate-new-buffer "article body") (point) (point-max)))
works nicely. (Only nitpick: Gnus adds a trailing newline,
i. e. the function above applied to a mail generated by
"echo echo Test | at now" produces a buffer with
"Test\n\n".)
Thanks,
Tim

Two more issues related to that:
- "(gnus-summary-show-article '(16))" will trigger
gnus-select-article-hook, so to call the former in the
latter, I had to wrap that in "(let
(gnus-select-article-hook) […])". Is there a better/re-
commended way to solve that?
- gnus-summary-show-article will switch to the *Summary*
buffer, so in "(gnus-with-article-buffer
(gnus-summary-show-article '(16)) (something-else))"
something-else will be executed in the *Summary* buffer,
therefore I had to wrap that in another
gnus-with-article-buffer form. However, when executed in
the *Article* buffer, C-u C-u g will stay there. Is this
a bug?
Tim
