Attaching all files in dir

Attaching all files in dir

[Paulo Matos]

Hi,

I have a directory with several files and I would like to attach them
to my email in one go. Is there any function already prepared for
this?

Cheers,

Not quite.  The snippet below will allow you to attach all the files you
mark in dired in one go


,----
| ;; If you would like to attach all marked files from dired to a new
| ;; Gnus message then put the following in your .emacs:
| 
| (require 'gnus-dired)
| (add-hook 'dired-mode-hook 'turn-on-gnus-dired-mode)
| 
| ;; Then, from dired, you can mark files as normal and then hit C-c
| ;; C-m C-a to attach the files (as attachments, not inline) to a
| ;; message. If you would like to have an easier to get to binding I
| ;; would suggest the following:
| 
| (define-key dired-mode-map "a" 'gnus-dired-attach)
`----


any use?

That's an excellent suggestion. It worked and raised two questions...
- How do you do that awesome left brace around the code?
- Which server do you use to read newsgroups inside gnus? I am in
google groups but I hate it, however don't know any free public nntp
server. Any tips?

To add one to the record, I use eternal-september as my nntp server to
read newsgroups in Gnus.  Take a look at
http://news.eternal-september.org.

I second the suggestion.  I switched to it when Verizon withdrew its
support from most of my newsgroups, including this one.  It is free &
trouble-free.
