Hi all,
I've just started using gnus again after some years of absence. I've
reread parts of the manual without finding answers to some of my
questions. I hope someone herein can help me.
1. I like using topic mode. I'm a bit anal about the ordering of topics
and groups within topics but I was never able to find out whether it
is possible in gnus
- to change the display order of individual topics on the same level
- and to change the display order of groups within topis.
Could you tell me if it is possible to change the display order and
if so how?
2. I have several e-mail addresses which I like to use for different
purposes. So my next questions are:
- Is it possible to tell gnus to use a certain e-mail address for the
From header in news articles on a per group basis?
- Is it possible to tell gnus to do the same thing on a per mail
group basis?
- Is it also possible to get prompted for a From address from a list
of possible e-mail addresses when posting to certain mail groups?
Thanks in advance,
aa

You can kill and then yank back groups and topics, just like you would
do it with normal text in a buffer. The usual key-bindings (C-k and C-y)
apply here.

This can be done by configuring gnus-posting-styles on a global level or
on a per group basis through the (info "(Gnus) Group Parameters"). For
further info about posting styles see (info "(Gnus) Posting Styles").

And there also exists functions to sort groups inside topics:

You could try the Gnus Personalities addon, but it is not maintained actively:

Yes, for example to control the headers and signature
based on if it is news or mail (in my case, mail with
nnml), it looks like this:
(setq gnus-posting-styles
(let ((sig "blaha blaha URL"))
`(("nnml:.*"
(Newsgroups "")
(signature ,sig)
)
(message-this-is-news
(To "")
(Mail-Copies-To "never")
(signature ,sig) ))))

Are we talking the From *header* or do you want to
actually send a mail from another mail account,
possibly provided by another ISP?

You can do that, but as long as there is some system to
the OP's desire that system is probably
implemented. Check out the help for
`gnus-group-sort-function'. I don't use topics, but I
have the below configuration to get the display order I
like, and at least what I can see, when I hit 't' (for
`gnus-topic-mode') that ordering is preserved.
(setq gnus-group-sort-function 'gnus-group-sort-by-real-name)

I have
(setq message-sendmail-envelope-from 'header)
in my .gnus.el it is both the header and the envelop (and consequently
different ISP accounts) in my case.
cheers,

Fine solution for me, thanks.

I use the 'address' posting style value in topic parameters now and it
does what I want, thanks again.

I've found 'message-alternative-emails' which does the right thing for
me in replies. That's good enough for me.
cheers,

What about the .mailrc file to setup abbrevs:
alias me "My Name <my@mail.com>"
alias me2 ...
Those should work in the From: header as well.
Otherwise I don't know except for programming.

I'm now using the "address" value in the posting style of topic/group
parameters to set the "right" From header; the distribution to the right
ISP is done by my local posrfix installation based on the From
header/sender envelop. So currently everthing works as I want.
cheers,

Ha ha, crazy stuff :) I'm sure you have a good reason
for wanting this...
