use gnus-agent-fetch-selected-article only in certain groups

use gnus-agent-fetch-selected-article only in certain groups

[Uwe Brauer]

Hello

I know that for the  setting
(add-hook 'gnus-select-article-hook 'gnus-agent-fetch-selected-article)	

every selected message gets downloaded. Now I want this only for
certain groups and thought of using gnus-group-customize.

The only relevant entry seems to be:
Set variables local to the group you are entering. *
[INS]

However this entry is for a variable and not for setting hooks to
functions. So I am not sure how to proceed. Most likely I have not
fully understood the logic of hooks.

Thanks

(Ab)using `eval' in `gnus-parameters' might do the trick:

(require 'gnus-sum) ;; gnus-select-article-hook is defined there.
(setq gnus-parameters
      '(("certain\\.group"
	 (eval
	  (add-to-list (make-local-variable 'gnus-select-article-hook)
		       'gnus-agent-fetch-selected-article)))))

Probably you can also use `add-hook' instead of `add-to-list' here (I
didn't try).  Does it work?

Bye, Reiner.

Hm, I don't see any difference.  Is nnimap your primary server
(gnus-select-method)?

`X-gnus-select-article-hook' was just an otherwise non-existing
variable for testing this.  Therefore I had to define it first (using
setq).

Another possibility is to use `F' all the time.  :-)
