How to adjust the windows configuration using gnus-carpal, group-carpal, and summary-carpal?

2009-09-02 Thread Benjamin L. Russell
(A slightly different version of this question has already been posted
in the thread Re: How to adjust the windows configuration? (see 
http://groups.google.com/group/gnu.emacs.gnus/msg/c205c34f549693ac),
dated Tue, 01 Sep 2009 18:52:10 +0900, on the newsgroup
gnu.emacs.gnus, but has not received a response, so I am forwarding the
question to this mailing list.)

Currently, I have the following Gnus window layout, which I am trying to
customize further:

---
|   | |
|   | |
|   | |
|   | |
|  Group Buffer | Summary Buffer  |
|   | |
|   | |
|   | |
|   | |
---
|   | |
|   | |
|   | |
|   | |
|Article Buffer   |
|   | |
|   | |
|   | |
|   | |
---

This layout is based on the following portion of my .gnus.el file:

 ; Toggle gnus-carpal settings; i.e., display of mouse-clickable buttons to 
 control navigation
 (setq gnus-carpal t) ; turn on mouse button-based navigation

 ;; The following section controls the layout after displaying the article 
 buffer
 ; change the configuration of a single buffer setting, without using the 
 complicated gnus-buffer-configuration variable (see Frequently Asked 
 Questions: Window Layout at http://gnus.org/manual/gnus_295.html)
 (gnus-add-configuration
  ; configure the article buffer
  '(article
; split the screen in two vertically, and use the following settings for 
 the upper half of the window
(vertical 1.0
; the original number of rows for the group + summary buffers 
 together, copied from Frequently Asked Questions: FAQ 4 - Reading messages 
 (http://www.gnus.org/manual/gnus_400.html#SEC473)
(horizontal 28
; the original number of columns for the group buffer 
 width setting, copied from Frequently Asked Questions: FAQ 4 - Reading 
 messages (http://www.gnus.org/manual/gnus_400.html#SEC473)
 ;  (group 50)
; setting of the number of columns for the group 
 buffer width setting to match my settings in Forte' Agent 5.0
 ;  (group 53)
; setting of the number of columns for the group 
 buffer width setting to display all newsgroup names without truncation
(group 77)
; let the summary buffer take the remainder of the 
 width of the rows, and position the point (cursor) therein
(summary 1.0 point) )
; let the lower half take up the remainder of the horizontal 
 space, and apply the following settings therein
(horizontal 1.0
; let the article buffer take up the entire space of 
 the lower half of the window
(article 1.0)

 ;; The following section controls the layout after displaying the group and 
 summary buffers only (i.e., before displaying the article buffer)
 ; change the configuration of a single buffer setting, without using the 
 complicated gnus-buffer-configuration variable (see Frequently Asked 
 Questions: Window Layout at http://gnus.org/manual/gnus_295.html)
 (gnus-add-configuration
  ; configure the summary buffer
  '(summary
; split the screen in two vertically, and use the following settings for 
 the upper half of the window (unless the lower half is specified separately 
 as above, here, the upper half may take up all the vertical space of the 
 window)
(vertical 1.0
  ; split the window horizontally, and take up whatever space is 
 available for the following settings
(horizontal 1.0
 ;; ; the original number of columns for the group buffer 
 width setting, copied from Frequently Asked Questions: FAQ 4 - Reading 
 messages 

mark as read ignored

Even with no unread messages the group (only this group shows this
behaviour) nnimap:INBOX is always displayed as if all the messages are
unread.
20: nnimap:INBOX

A `c' pr `C' can alter this state only temporarily, with the next start
gnus has forgot it again. As far as I can see the settings of this group
don't differ in any crucial point of other group settings.

Are you using 23.1 or 22.2?  Because 23.1 requires the first line
below to work

(setq message-send-mail-function 'message-send-mail-with-sendmail)
(setq sendmail-program /usr/sbin/msmtp)
(setq message-sendmail-extra-arguments '(-a xx))
(setq smtpmail-debug-info t) ; only to debug problems set to t if needed
(setq smtpmail-debug-verb t)

I use cygwin msmtp and win32 Emacs-23.1.  

What does the msmtp log say?  One other to check is to where msmtp
looks for its configuration files from within Emacs by launching it
within the Emacs shell.  On the new computer, the HOME env might be
different and that's why it's not working?

I am using version 22.2.

 (setq message-send-mail-function 'message-send-mail-with-sendmail)
Actually this variable is documented, but changing its value brings no
difference.

 (setq sendmail-program /usr/sbin/msmtp)
BTW: Why is msmtp installed in /usr/sbin? Is this the cygwin-way?

 I use cygwin msmtp and win32 Emacs-23.1.  
I think that I used emacs-23 and some newer gnus. It has been an
gentoo-setup and thus rather uncommon anyway.
 
 What does the msmtp log say?  
Thats another thing: msmtp doesn't log neither. It does when invoked
on the command-line, but it doesn't when I am in gnus. Thats another
reason why I'd like to have the whole command gnus invokes, just to
check that there is really a /usr/bin/msmtp at the beginning.

 One other to check is to where msmtp
 looks for its configuration files from within Emacs by launching it
 within the Emacs shell.  On the new computer, the HOME env might be
 different and that's why it's not working?
That looks fine.

Thomas.

 I was making the point that an answer to I have no idea what gnus
 posting styles are is that its extremely trivial to find out.

That assumes that (1) you have heard of them  (2) you can understand
the explanation.  Both of those assumptions were false in my case.
