I put gmane into unplugged status(all the time):
,----
| {nntp:news.gmane.org} (offline) (agent)
`----
Tell agent not to queue whenever possible:
,----
| (setq gnus-agent-queue-mail nil)
`----
And running the gnus agent as a cron job, for fetching news and sending
queued mails.
Now when I try to post in some gmane list, like this one(all already
authenticated to gmane long ago), the correct behaviour should be:
1. i send the post
2. the post appears in the "nndraft:queue" group
3. at some time(my config is 10 minutes a round), gnus agent cron job
will send out the post.
Do I understand it right? Sometimes it really works as described.
There are two problems I've met:
1. At *many* occassions, after step 1, it doesn't appear in the
"nndraft:queue" group, i checked the gmane list from web, the post
doesn't appear there either. After some reasonal time, I can
confirm that: it's gone!!! Why?? (I'm wishing i don't have to
resend this post too many times...)
2. Now it seems the "nndraft:drafts" group likes keep mails written in
the middle way, even after I've sent out the mails finally. So i
sent a mail, i must delete a draft explicitly... This also only
happens at random, not always.
I don't have the above problems when I don't use gnus agent, except that
gnus always takes control of my emacs brutally, rude gnus!
Can anyone save me?
