set mime display per group?

set mime display per group?

[Damon Haley]

Hi, I was wondering if there is anyway to configure gnus to have
different 'mutlipart/alternative' display settings per group.

I know there is an example in the manual showing how to custom configure
nnrss groups by setting mm-discouraged-alternatives in the
gnus-parameters variable:

Example from manual:

;; display `text/html' parts in nnrss groups.
(add-to-list
 'gnus-parameters
 '("\\`nnrss:" (mm-discouraged-alternatives nil)))

What I would like to do is have a secondary select nnimap server use a
'mm-automatic-display' setting of 'text/plan' rather than my default
'text/html.'

Here are my default MIME settings:

       gnus-buttonized-mime-types  '("multipart/signed" "multipart/alternative")
       mm-discouraged-alternatives '("text/html" "text/richtext")
       mm-automatic-display '("text/html")

Is there a way to scope these settings to just apply to a group or even
just one mail server?

Thanks,

Damon

Hi gnus folk,

I finally figured this out.  Essentially the code below resets my
discouraged-alternatives for the fastmail IMAP account, but discourages
html for everything else.

;; Set the default value of mm-discouraged-alternatives.
(eval-after-load "gnus-sum"
  '(add-to-list
    'gnus-newsgroup-variables
    '(mm-discouraged-alternatives
      . '("text/html" "image/.*" "text/richtext"))))

;; display `text/html' parts in fastmail groups.
(add-to-list
 'gnus-parameters
 '("^nnimap\\+fastmail:" (mm-discouraged-alternatives nil)))

It's obviously the same code in the manual for showing nrss groups as
html when text is displayed for everything else.

Does anyone know how I could re-write the above code to only take effect
on gnus topics such as Lars suggested was possible below?

Do I put something like (mm-discouraged-alternatives nil) in the
gnus-topic-edit-parameters buffer?

If topic based display is not possible, how could I re-write the code
above to specify multiple IMAP groups rather than matching my
entire secondary-select IMAP server?

I don't know elisp yet, but I'm slowly trying to pick up some of it over the
next year.

Thanks,

Damon

There's a lot of ways.  You could arrange your groups in topics, and add
these as topic parameters, or you could set them from a suitable group
entry hook, like `gnus-summary-mode-hook'.
