 Hi Sergio,

Hi Tassilo,

 The problem: Gnus (or Emacs) is eating some newline characters in
 messages.  This happens particularly often with hyperlinks, but
 yesterday it happened inside an inlined patch in a message.

 I'd rather say it's the fault of the email client of the mail's sender
 which probably uses format=flowed.  Have a look at 

 ,[ git-format-patch(1) ]
 | By default, Thunderbird will both wrap emails as well as

 `

 The same applies not just to Thunderbird, but probably to most graphical
 mail clients in use today.  So either the sender should disable that
 somehow, or attach patches as attachment instead of inline.

You are right.  The guy is using mutt, but he enabled the format=flowed
in the message.  That, and also the fact that he hand-edited the patch,
made it impossible to apply cleanly.

Thanks a lot,

Newline disappears (not sure if Gnus or Emacs fault)

2013-03-05 Thread Sergio Durigan Junior
Hi,

I've been noticing this behavior for a long time, but yesterday it has
really annoyed me because it made me waste a lot of time trying to
understand why a patch wasn't applying.

The problem: Gnus (or Emacs) is eating some newline characters in
messages.  This happens particularly often with hyperlinks, but
yesterday it happened inside an inlined patch in a message.

So take for example:

---
# This line is a comment followed by an empty line.

-all: bla.c
+all: bla.c blergh.c
---

This would be a normal piece of a patch.  However, I received this:

---
# This line is a comment followed by an empty line.
 -all: bla.c
+all: bla.c blergh.c
---

I.e., the empty line got swalled and became a space character.  I did a
search for gnus bug newline or similar terms, but couldn't find
anything useful.

Do you guys happen to know what could be happening?  Maybe it's Emacs
fault?

Thanks in advance,

 What can I do to avoid this 'contagion' of auto-fill-mode?

Maybe try setting `message-fill-column' to nil?

Regenerating a nnimap group

2013-01-29 Thread Sergio Durigan Junior
Hi,

After having some problems with UID + offlineimap, I decided to re-fetch
 regenerate all messages from a specific folder again (with
offlineimap).  But then, when I reopened Gnus, I noticed that when I
entered the folder, it was trying to display the old messages
(unsuccessfully, because I was receiving the infamous Article may have
been expired or moved... message).

Is there an easy way to tell Gnus to somehow regenerate a specific
group?  I tried calling gnus-agent-regenerate-group, but it didn't
change anything.  The last solution was to remove my .newsrc* files and
restart Gnus, but it is not a decent approach I think.

Oh, it's worth mentioning that I'm using Dovecot, so I use nnimap, which
doesn't seem to accept server regeneration in the Server buffer.

Thanks,

Re: gnus opening attachments

2012-01-10 Thread Sergio Durigan Junior
Hello,

I am seeing the same problem using Gnus.  Actually, not even PDF files are
being opened here.  Apparently the same thing is happening here: Gnus is
not copying the attachment file to /tmp/ before calling xdg-open.

Is there anything that can be done?

Thanks.
