External mbox files via http as foreign group

External mbox files via http as foreign group

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 651 bytes --]

Hey there,

I'm using gnus for a while now, and I really enjoy it!

I'm trying to read debian bug reports as foreign groups. There is a
command line tool called 'bts' for that, which fetches the mbox via wget
and opens it with mutt, which is nice but not gnus ;)

The mbox files can be fetched via e.g.
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=358563;mbox=yes

I'd like to have a lisp function, which queries or asks for the bug
number (358563 in this case), and then presents the mails inside there
as "foreign" group, so that I can answer on each mail individually.

If people find this function useful, I could add it to the development

I tried to install it. While byte compiling that file, I got these
errors. Perhaps I miss something obvious?

I'd find those functions very useful, and would like to see them in the
devel version of Gnus!

Ok, I did some stupid mistakes in using them. They do work now quite
well for me.

Perhaps you might want to use a more obvious
name. (rs-gnus-read-bug-group) could perhaps be named
(rs-gnus-read-debbugs-groups) for referencing debian bugtracker debbugs.

Anyway, thanks for your consideration.

Yes the current name is not good.  Even I often have to look into the
source to find it.  ;-)

There was no error, only a few harmless warnings.  Anyhow, I've fixed
the warnings now.

You can accelerate the process by preparing a patch against No Gnus.
You can use my code and look for a suitable menu entry and key
binding.  :-)

Bye, Reiner.
