Follow up via news
Hi. For some odd reasons, I like all my groups served by my IMAP server, even those that are really newsgroups. I do this by reading the newsfeed with suck [1] in a cronjob and mailing the articles to myself. This works pretty well, but there is one problem, I want to stop lurking and actually take part in the discussion. So, I have to post to the original newsgroup. But Gnus treats the articles as mail because they appear to come from IMAP, and so hitting f or F gives me a mail message to compose. How can I teach Gnus that some of my groups are really news and should be followed up to with a news post? -- Ian Zimmerman gpg public key: 1024D/C6FF61AD fingerprint: 66DC D68F 5C1B 4D71 2EE5 BD03 8A00 786C C6FF 61AD Rule 420: All persons more than eight miles high to leave the court. ___ info-gnus-english mailing list info-gnus-english@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english

I don't have an idea but I think working with Posting Styles might be the way to force it to do something newsy from news articles piped in through IMAP.

Re: Follow up via news
check out `to-list' at (info (gnus) Group Parameters) and (info (gnus) Mailing List), `gnus-mailing-list-mode' is what you want You can set the group-parameter to-list either to the list address for each of your list and use a to post to that address: #+begin_src emacs-lisp (setq group-parameter '((gnus (to-list . info-gnus-english@gnu.org)) (emacs (to-list . help-gnu-em...@gnu.org #+end_src ...or be lazy and set it to the empty string for /all/ of your mailing lists and use C-c C-p n to instead of a: #+begin_src emacs-lisp (setq group-parameter `((,(rx (| gnus emacs)) (to-list . #+end_src In either case follow-ups should work. Possibly prefix the group names with nnimap.* to avoid confusion with actual newsgroups. hth, -- Philipp Haselwarter ___ info-gnus-english mailing list info-gnus-english@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english

I know very well about to-list, setting it is one of the first things I do after subscribing to a mailing list. But this is _not_ about mailing lists. These articles come from real Usenet newsgroups, with no mailman or similar sitting between me and a NNTP server. In most cases at least, there is no mailing list that is cross linked with the group; in fact I intentionally avoid groups like that because mailman still breaks threading (and other gateways such us googlegroups do too). It's just that I store them in an IMAP store. I do that for two current reasons and one potential one: 1. IMAP stores readedness and subscription state on the server, so it can be shared between my client devices, without resorting to the horror that is NFS. 2. They pass through whatever antispam measures are in effect for email. 3. (future/potential) Maybe I can hack Gnus to allow article editing in nnimap. Then I have editable news reading, a long time dream of mine. About your 2nd suggestion: C-c C-p is unbound in both summary and group buffers. Perhaps the following is relevant? gnus-version is a variable defined in `gnus.el'. Its value is Gnus v5.13 What command does C-c C-p n invoke in your Gnus?
