OT: Have you met another Gnus user in person?
It just struck me that I have not met a single person who's a Gnus user in flesh and blood; Emacs, once in a while but gnus? Nyet, nada, nope! It's getting lonely you know...

Follow up to group for mailing lists
A lot of mailing lists do not set the reply-to to the mailing list. It is considered evil, but I like it. But lets not get into a discussion about that. The only way to get the email to the mailing list is a wide follow up, but then the sender gets an email from me and from the mailing list. That is why I made follow up only going to the mailing list. (With reply I still can reply to the author.) I defined a 'tuple': (setq dcbl-gnus-mailing-lists '( (INBOX.Info.bbdb . bbdb-i...@lists.sourceforge.net) . . . (bedrijf/ontwikkeling/scala. scala-u...@googlegroups.com) )) I made the following advice: (defadvice gnus-summary-followup-with-original (after formalities () activate) (let ((to-address (dcbl-gnus-get-mailing-list-address))) (when to-address (when (message-fetch-field To) (message-goto-to) (message-beginning-of-line) (kill-line)) (when (message-fetch-field Cc) (message-goto-cc) (message-beginning-of-line) (message-beginning-of-line) (kill-line) (kill-line)) (dcbl-fill-to-address) (message-goto-body When gnus-newsgroup-name is from a mailing list, I empty the To field, I delete the Cc field, fill the To field and go to the body. The function to get the address: (defun dcbl-gnus-get-mailing-list-address () Get gnus-newsgroup-name mailing list address (if it has one); (string-match [^:]*$ gnus-newsgroup-name) (dcbl-get-tuple-value dcbl-gnus-mailing-lists (match-string 0 gnus-newsgroup-name))) The general function to get a value from a 'tuple': (defun dcbl-get-tuple-value (tuple index) Get value from tuple indexed by index (if it exist); (assoc-default index tuple)) The function to fill the To field (I use it also to fill when creating an article, that is why I go to the subject field here.): (defun dcbl-fill-to-address () Determine what to-address to use on the current message; (interactive) (let ((to-address nil)) (when (and (string= major-mode message-mode) gnus-newsgroup-name (not (message-fetch-field To)) (setq to-address (dcbl-gnus-get-mailing-list-address))) (message-goto-to) (insert to-address) (message-goto-subject I check that I am in message-mode, that gnu-newsgroup-name is filled, that the To field is not filled and that it is a mailing list. If that is the case I fill the To field and go to the subject field. The advice for sending a message: (defadvice gnus-summary-mail-other-window (after formalities () activate) (dcbl-fill-to-address)) I hope it is useful to someone. And if I could do things better: let me know. -- Cecil Westerhof Senior Software Engineer LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/cecilwesterhof ___ info-gnus-english mailing list info-gnus-english@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english

You don't really need to define your functions (as long as you split the lists into their own group). For mailing lists you can just set to-address and to-list in the Group parameters to the list address. This way if you reply with F/f or send a new mail with a it will go to the list. If you reply with R/r, it will go the author. Charles -- We all know Linux is great...it does infinite loops in 5 seconds.
