Automatically insert X-No-Archive in headers

Automatically insert X-No-Archive in headers

[Andreas Davour]

Is there a way to insert the no-archive header automatically, so I don't
have to type C-c C-f a all the time?

I've not found any indication in the manual, but am a bit new at serious
gnus usage anyway.

Message default headers (message-required-news-headers) are covered in the Gnus manual but I will simply share with you my .gnus init file which you can adapt to your own purpose easily enough. Just change the string "Reply-to" to "X-No-Archive" and fill in the desired non-nil value since I don't remember the syntax of that header. If you set it to `t' the header will be added. You may also want to check the value of gnus-init-file. Mine is called "_gnus" for Windows compatibility reasons. After you get it working you can byte-compile it for efficiency to create ".gnus.elc" . If you want more headers later on simply add them as additional arguments to the `(list )' construct on line one of the code in the same form '(optional. x)`.

  ;; `_gnus.el' : this runs when gnus starts
  ;;
  ;; add a "reply-to" header to optional news message headers 
(setq-default message-required-news-headers (append message-required-news-headers (list `(optional . Reply-to))))
  ;; set the message Reply-to to the message default reply-to
(setq-default Reply-to `"whatever_value_you_want")

Thanks! I'll look into that option.
