If the upgrade is taking you through several new versions of Gnus, it's probably worth going back to the Gnus manual and reading the section on IMAP again, just to make sure you've got everything right.

Are you getting them via email? Gnus inhibits loading external images in Emacs (to avoid privacy problems with web bug trackers and the like).

OK, I see the problem, it doesn't get
called interactively.
Try this instead:
(defun spell-before-send ()
(let*((lang-input (read-from-minibuffer "Language [e or s]: "))
(lang (pcase lang-input
("e" "american-insane")
("s" "svenska") )))
(when lang
(ispell-change-dictionary lang)
(ispell-message) )))
You have to change the interface at the second line,
as well as the dictionaries at lines four and five,
of course.
Another thing - here is a hint how to do hooks without
the lambda stuff. It amounts to the same but gives
more control and more easy-to-handle code.
First check out if you have anything in the hook
variable already. If you do, and you want it, put it
before (or after) the third line below.
Then, evaluate the commented (first) line, then
evaluate the function (at the second line), then set
the hook to the hook function (the fourth line).
;; (setq message-send-hook nil)
(defun message-send-hook-f ()
(spell-before-send) )
(setq message-send-hook #'message-send-hook-f)
> I am new to Emacs Lisp therefore I could some

You don't have to be new to Lisp to do that.
Is there anything you don't understand in the code?
If it is, find out using the documentation (online
help: `C-h f', `C-h v', etc.) *or* ask here. ("Online"
= not on paper :))
When you understand it move on to do other things :)

nnimap woes after debian upgrade
Hello, yesterday I upgraded my system from debian wheezy to jessie. I'm having some difficulties getting gnus to work as before. Here is what I had configured before the upgrade: '(gnus-secondary-select-methods (quote ( (nnimap "localhost" (nnimap-stream ssl)) (nnimap "pf-tippete" (nnimap-address my\.imapserver\.it) (nnimap-stream ssl) (nnimap-expunge-on-close always) So, first problem, I couldn't access localhost anymore. A bit of fiddling led me to: ((nnimap "localhost" (nnimap-stream network)) which I suppose means there's something wrong with the dovecot ssl setup. I don't really care about that since it's all on the same machine, but what also changed is that for some reason gnus now thinks that everything in ~/Mail is an imap folder, while that was not the case. This means that is attepmting to read as imap folders also stuff that was there because a separate mail client caches my work mail in the same directory. I solved this by editing gnus-ignored-newsgroups and adding the top folder to the regex. I still get weird stuff in the tree though, including all the imap indexes and even directories with ~ at the end of the name, and I'm not sure if this is a gnus problem or something that has changed in dovecot. The second problem is that I can't access the remote server anymore, I get this error: Opening connection to my.imapserver.it via tls... Unable to open server nnimap+pf-tippete due to: Wrong type argument: stringp, my\.imapserver\.it Opening nnimap server on pf-tippete...failed: No new newsgroups I tried using the ip address and it didn't like it either. Nothing has changed on the remote server, so this is a local problem. Both the localhost and the remote server seem to work properly when I use claws-mail to access them. What else can I try?

Hi,
sorry for my late reply, I was busy ... working! Ouch!
Thanks a lot for your answers guys, much appreciated :-)
I would like to implement one of the previous follow up which explained how to
auto
detect the buffer's language but for now I would be more than happy with
this simple and good solution, the function works fine when I call it
from M-x "name-function" but something strange happens when that is
called by the message-send hook:
run-hooks: Wrong number of arguments: (lambda (lang-char) (interactive
"s(e)nglish or (s)wedish: ") (let ((lang (cond ((equal lang-char "e")
(let nil "british")) ((equal lang-char "i") (let nil "italiano")) (t
nil (if lang (progn (ispell-change-dictionary lang)
(ispell-message)) (message "Spelling not done - no support for: %s"
lang-char, 0
This is what I get in my mini-buffer when I send my email, any thoughts ?
I am new to Emacs Lisp therefore I could some silly mistake.
Thanks a lot.
Pietro

Yes
The last lines of
(setq nnimap-split-fancy
'(|
[...] snipped many lines
(: (lambda ()
(car (bbdb/gnus-split-method
;; Default mailbox
"INBOX"))
Previously, the final line was:
("INBOX" "")))
Which I had copied years ago from an unknown source.
There are 2 differences, the "", and an extra pair of ().
Having both, B q or B t on unsplitable messages will
return:
message will go to mail.misc
Removing only the "" but keeping the equally superfluous (),
B q / B t will reply
message will go to bogus
Removing both, which, uhm, follows the example in the manual, will get B
q / B t to return
message will go to INBOX

I am using these topic parameters on groups I want to see images in:
((mm-inline-text-html-with-images t)
(mm-discouraged-alternatives nil)
(gnus-blocked-images
"pheedo\\|feedburner.com\\|doubleclick.net\\|feeds.wordpress.com")
(mm-w3m-safe-url-regexp nil)
(shr-max-image-proportion 0.5)
(mm-automatic-display
(union
'("text/html")
mm-automatic-display)))
Maybe some of them are relevant for your case?
(I'm using the default HTML renderer, shr.)
Best regards,
Adam

rendring Dilbert strip inline
Hello, I'm subscribed to the Dilbert Daily Strip and would like to be able to see it inline - rendered in the buffer without need to open new tab in my Firefox. At the moment I've the following in my Gnus config: (setq mm-text-html-renderer 'shr) Tried with: (setq mm-text-html-renderer 'gnus-w3m) but same thing, I was only able to view it externally.
