What personal information is this talking about? Is it trackback links that notify the document author that you've looked at their document? If so, the word unsafe is probably too strong, I'd call them dubious and stop there. In any case, this is basic functionality that users should not have to enable. In addition it's not easy to configure this. What am I, the user, supposed to put in it? I think it's unfair to expect the user to configure such minutae.

Crank up gnus-verbose to 9 and look in the *Messages* buffer to see the full RSS entry that's retrieved, so you can examine the fields and determine which ones are causing your problems. Don't forget to turn gnus-verbose back down when you're done :) Ted PM Ouch! I just got around to trying this. I'm not sure where I should put PM your debug statement - I put it at the end of nnrss.el but I got an PM error. PM I set gnus-verbose to 9 and reloaded the feed and now have 72,000 lines PM of text in my *Messages* buffer - what on earth am I looking for? Look for the dump of the RSS entries, and specifically any fields that mutate between two fetches. In other words, you have: fetch A: entry E1: field P: hello fielq Q: bye fetch B: entry E2: field P: hello fielq Q: bye again nnrss computes a hash based on P and Q and all the other fields in the entry, so you have to find what Qs change between fetch A and fetch B and ignore those Qs.

I use that *a lot*... No, you can't do that with nnimap. If I'm right, do you think it's something that would be hard to add? You can't delete attachments from an article with IMAP. I know that some mail clients claim to do this, but they're actually creating a new article and delete the old one. One could script something similar in Gnus, but outside of nnimap. -David ___ info-gnus-english mailing list info-gnus-english@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english

Emacs 23.1 and sending email through msmtp
Apparently in 23.1, on windows at least, you may have to set message-send-mail-function explicitly to use sendmail. On the earlier 22.2, this was not needed if you're using some other MDA. (setq message-send-mail-function 'message-send-mail-with-sendmail) ;;;use msmtp instead of sendmail (setq sendmail-program /usr/sbin/msmtp) Otherwise Emacs tries to launch the default windows associated mail client. In my case, it was puzzling to see it launch Firefox when I was trying to send email. A look at the docs showed that there are a number of options to message-send-mail-function. Hope this helps someone in a similar situation. sivaram -- ___ info-gnus-english mailing list info-gnus-english@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
