newbie question: trouble with mail splitting
Hello gnus-list,
i'm happy to use gnus for reading and writing mails.
Now i want to split mails, but i do not understand how it works.
here is my config, but it doesnt work. All mail goes to mail.misc.
Does anyone knows what to do?

Simple, eh, don't know about that. Here's an abbreviated instance of
mine. Basically, posting styles let you define a bunch of header and
trailer properties based on a conditional opening expression. Notice
the literal quote that begins the list. Also observe that any header
name can be specified by double-quoted reference, but certain tokens are
special: address, signature.

There is code in INN to auto-generate Keywords headers, enabled via Keywords:full in overview.fmt and keywords: true keyartlimit:10 keylimit: 512 keymaxwords:250 in inn.conf. If your server is INN, and has this running, then you can score on "extra" overview headers with (setq gnus-extra-headers '(Keywords)) by using an appropriate score command (e.g. `-1000 L e s p Keywords RET'). If your server is INN but doesn't have keyword auto-generation turned on, agitate with your Usenet provider to do so. ___ info-gnus-english mailing list info-gnus-english@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english

I've been using those capabilities for a decade or more. Did you restart Gnus, in order that .gnus.el would be re-evaluated? If you did restart Gnus, what happened after 5min?

Use `S l' in *Group* to define the level number of your groups. Put mail groups on level 1 or 2. (I use 1 for personal [therefore important] mail groups, and 2 for mailing lists and so forth.) Default level for newly-subscribed groups is 3, I believe. Every time I respond to questions such as yours, I pepper my response heavily with references to the manual. Use those references. It's fine to ask questions; it's not fine to ask questions whose answers you've already got, if only you'll look around yourself for them.

They have a pattern which makes them fairly unique to yourself: The first few characters after `<' are always the same. (They are a hash of your username.) Anyone who follows up to you will produce messages containing a References header containing that pattern string. Using that pattern, score up on References headers with that pattern: I r s p [pattern] (meaning I-ncrease on r-eferences matching s-ubstring p-ermanently). If you do so right now, this article of mine should highlight as scored up. > Is it possible to hightlight groups in the group buffer that contain such? No. The reason is due to how much Gnus knows at what times. By the time *Group* is displayed, all that Gnus has learned is that there are certain groups with known (but approximate) counts of new messages available to be read. Gnus has not yet entered any of those groups, so as to determine what is in them. Short of a major rewrite of how Gnus initializes itself and prepares *Group*, there is no way to pre-mark groups which contain followups to yourself. ___ info-gnus-english mailing list info-gnus-english@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english

What Martin needs to bear in mind is that the distinguished select method exists alone in one (singularly-named) variable, hence it is exactly one list. Other select methods are contained collectively in another (plurally-named) variable, gnus-secondary- select-methods, and it is therefore a list of lists -- so if it contains a single such method, the list-enclosing parentheses must in turn be encased in another pair of parentheses, within which other such method lists might appear. ___ info-gnus-english mailing list info-gnus-english@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english

Saving the entire list of groups is a very expensive (in bandwidth and storage space) thing to do because there are tens of thousands of groups known to large installations; far too heavy a cost to outweigh the small benefit of the very occasional time that one really wants that list. (Even on my small server, the active file is half a megabyte.)

If your server runs INN, you can ask your newsadmin to add "Newsgroups:full" to the control file "overview.fmt". If that happens, then all future arriving articles will get Newsgroups data into overview, and you can score on Newsgroups as an "extra" header. This will make overviews somewhat larger on the server, and so your newsadmin might not be willing, but at least you can ask. That said, the increase in size from Newsgroups' presence in overviews is not at all large in the usual case, and is really totally eclipsed by e.g. References chains that always already appear in overviews. "Extra" scoring is referenced at the end of info://Gnus/To+From+Newsgroups as regards gnus-extra-headers, whose default value is '(To Newsgroups). (I also recommend "Keywords:full" and "NNTP-Posting-Host:full" in overview.fmt.) ___ info-gnus-english mailing list info-gnus-english@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english

Re: Noticing Replies (GNUS)
Esben Stien <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > Any way to highlight a group that contains replies to my mails? The short answer: No. The long answer: You have to think about how much Gnus knows at what times. At the point where Gnus displays the *Group* buffer, it has analyzed no more deeply than to learn what groups you've got and how many articles there are available in each. Gnus has not yet gotten to the point of learning anything about what's _in_ the articles advertised as available. Gnus doesn't learn that until you enter a group, at which point Gnus inhales headers for that group and can learn e.g. that there are followups to you based on score rules which notice References containing strings unique to the articles you post. Short of re-working a lot of Gnus, so as to induce it to pre-enter all your groups, score them all, and then modify *Group* based on what it found, there is no working solution for what you want. ___ info-gnus-english mailing list info-gnus-english@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english

Just to be clear, the fact that Emacs becomes unresponsive to C-g is a sure indicator that you have a bug in Emacs itself, not in Gnus. It might be more helpful if you'd let folks know the exact version of GNU Emacs that you've got (M-x emacs-version RET); perhaps there is a known problem from that version, and possibly you should merely find an update more recent than Debian's snapshot. ___ Info-gnus-english mailing list Info-gnus-english@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english

It'll give you an editable version of the message. `C-c C-c' when you're done. Put the right stuff back into the message, which means [a] correct boundaries and [b] if necessary, MIME-Version and Content-Type in the forwarded message itself. Make sure the boundary specified in Content-Type is the actual boundary used in the body. (There's some funkiness regarding an extra leading `-', I think; I'm forgetting the details now. Try one thing, if it doesn't work, tweak it a little bit more.) Make the boundaries used in the encapsulated mail different from the encapsulating forwarder, or the MIME parser will be confused. Unfortunately, there are no tools to help you to make sure this is done right; the originating mailer should have done it right for you in the first place. So just be careful as you mess with it. Sanity: Copy the message and work on the copy, just in case you really need to get back to the original version sent to you. Use `B c' in Summary to copy it to, say, some other mail group to work on. > Reforming the mailers of all people who send me support emails is a > *little* bit beyond my job description.

Re: Any chance of getting gnus to handle mime attachments?
Ed Hartnett <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > Could you please elaborate? > What is the boundary supposed to look like? In the header, Content-Type provides the boundary between message parts. That string must appear exactly in the next part. Your sample message claims a Content-Type boundary string which is unrelated to the boundary strings actually in the body. This is a prime example of Gnus' overachieving in MIME; Gnus actually obeys the spec. If a message has been generated by a buggy origin agent, tough: Gnus will deal with it on its merits. Gnus will not guess at what might appear, to fuzzy human thinking, to be a proper MIME indicator. (For example, older Netscape mail would intuit MIMEness in the absence of MIME-Version -- grotesquely wrong behavior.) At a guess, the sender's mailer botched the recursive MIMEness of a forwarded message which in turn had its own MIME content. "Oops." Many mailers have a broken concept of "forwarding" in which they neglect to include _all_ the headers necessary to preserve the message's MIME content descriptors and indicate their own content. Tell the sender to get a real mailer. One that doesn't generate garbage. ___ Info-gnus-english mailing list Info-gnus-english@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english

If there are proper header indications, namely MIME-Version and Content-Type, Gnus will handle it fine. Lacking those, Gnus correctly assumes text/plain. Are there such proper headers?

Ed Hartnett <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > How do I get gnus to handle mime attachments? > For example, I get email like the following. What do I do with it? For starters, you'll have to put some context around the concept "can't handle." This is akin to one of my computer-illiterate friends saying, "My computer isn't working," to which my first sarcastic response is, "Plug it in and turn it on." That is, if you won't tell us which of the 31,264,388 things that might possibly go wrong with a computer is currently troubling you, we can't possibly help you, so we'll start you at the bottom level and work up. When Gnus gained native MIME comprehension some years ago, Lars was so careful about it that he, and the Gnus development mailing list folks, managed to find a half dozen or more bugs in other mail clients because those clients didn't follow the spec properly. Gnus does MIME. In fact, Gnus does MIME just about as well as any other mail/news program out there. Tell us _specifically_ what Gnus is doing wrong, and we'll see if it's a bona fide bug, or a configuration problem on your part, or confusion over what's happening, or something else entirely. Bugs are found all the time. Maybe you've tripped over a new one.
