Killing unwanted post
Occasionally when I am writing an email or news article I realize that I don't want to send it after all, for some reason. I don't want to save it even as a draft, so I use C-c C-k, "message-kill-buffer". I then get "Message modified; kill anyway? (yes or no)" in the minibuffer. Is there a way to suppress this message? I'd like the kill to happen without confirmation. David -- David Sumbler Please reply with a followup to the newsgroup. However, if you _really_ want to send me an e-mail, replace "nospam" in my address with "aeolia". ___ Info-gnus-english mailing list Info-gnus-english@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english

It's t by default, so you should set it to nil to achieve the desired effect. Ted ___ Info-gnus-english mailing list Info-gnus-english@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english

There was also message-kill-buffer-on-exit which could be confusing to the user with that name change (does message-kill-buffer-query apply to it?). If you feel it's a much better name, feel free to make the change :) I am not strongly attached to it.

I don't use CVS, but I tried adding the line (setq message-kill-buffer-query-if-modified nil) to message.el, then ran byte-compile-file on it. But it didn't seem to make any difference. I'm using Gnus v10.5.6. What am I doing wrong? David -- David Sumbler Please reply with a followup to the newsgroup.

I'm using Gnus v10.5.6. You need to get message.el (or all of Gnus) from CVS, or wait for the next release. It's a new feature so I don't think it should go into the maintenance trunk, where only bug fixes are supposed to go. Do you need help with that?

I might try for just the message.el bit, just to give me the idea. I've never used CVS in anger! If it's not too much trouble, perhaps you could give me a brief step-by-step guide. I'd be very grateful, but don't worry if you don't think it's practical. David -- David Sumbler Please reply with a followup to the newsgroup.

IMO, replacing random parts like `message.el' from newer Gnus versions is a recipe for trouble. David could either apply your patch to Gnus 5.10.x or do something like the following in his `~/.gnus.el'. (require 'message) (unless (boundp 'message-kill-buffer-query-if-modified) (defcustom message-kill-buffer-query-if-modified t ... [from No Gnus] ...) (defun message-kill-buffer-from () "Kill the current buffer. From No Gnus." ... [from No Gnus] ...) (message "Replaced `message-kill-buffer-from'")) Bye, Reiner. -- ,,, (o o) ---ooO-(_)-Ooo--- | PGP key available | http://rsteib.home.pages.de/ ___ Info-gnus-english mailing list Info-gnus-english@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english

I would get Gnus from CVS - it works great, and there have been no major changes since the release you are using. You can get the CVS Gnus instructions here: http://gnus.org/distribution.html Ted == Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News== http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups = East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption = ___ Info-gnus-english mailing list Info-gnus-english@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english

I'm just looking for opportunities to win the ILVNC, just biding my time... This is the real reason why I work in Emacs Lisp, all variable names are global so you get to make them as long as you want :) Ted ___ Info-gnus-english mailing list Info-gnus-english@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
