Re: EasyPG versus Mailcrypt in Emacs 23
What are they good for? -- Philipp Haselwarter ___ info-gnus-english mailing list info-gnus-english@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
citation line above or below body?
When I reply to messages and cite the original, point ends up below the citation line. This leads to weird threads, where my text ends up right below the "so-and-so wrote:" line, and other people's mail programs don't seem to do it that way. My message-citation-line-function is currently set to message-insert-formatted-citation-line, and I know that I could simply write my own citation function, but my question is: why is it like this, and will I be breaking anything if I "fix" it? Thanks, Eric ___ info-gnus-english mailing list info-gnus-english@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english

I removed the offending parts of the .newsrc.eld by hand (always hairy) and now have it all "clean as a whistle". Oh yes, one other typo cause an issue : nndraft-directory works better than nndrafts-directory ... ;) ___ info-gnus-english mailing list info-gnus-english@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english

I think in the context it's incorrect but wouldnt put my mortgage on it ... nnml-directory is not a spool really : the var/spool source is.

But somehow, in a galaxy far far away, I was under the impression that nnml was the easiest way to get local system email (root/cron jobs etc). The rest I sync with gmail via offlineimap. ___ info-gnus-english mailing list info-gnus-english@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english

IMHO, I don't think that this is a problem of the list, although your observation regarding the Reply-to (it's optional, right?) header is probably correct. I'm thinking that maybe we have something common in our setup that changes/mangles the follow up behavior for this specific group. For example I have a couple of other imap groups for which I receive mail with no Reply-to header, and F works just fine (wide reply + yank).
