Why aren't these variables derived from each-other automatically by default? The last variable is derived from `user-mail-address'. The first second wouldn't make sense to derive from the first, I think. Except that user-mail-address can only accept a single address. Currently: message-alternative-emails: defaults to nil message-dont-reply-to-names: defaults to nil (which means to strip user-mail-address) gnus-ignored-from-addresses defaults to user-mail-address Wouldn't it make more sense to derive message-dont-reply-to-names and gnus-ignored-from-addresses from a combination of user-mail-address and message-alternative-emails? It seems to me that the purpose of such variables is to easily recognize yourself from your different email aliases (except maybe from message-dont-reply-to-names which may be a superset), and such the defaults are a bit unsatisfactory. To be more precise: message-dont-reply-to-names defaulting to: (when message-alternative-emails (concat \\( (regexp-quote user-mail-address) \\)\\|\\( message-alternative-emails \\))) it makes more sense to avoid replying to one of your many identities. then default gnus-ignored-from-addresses from message-dont-reply-to-names? If message-dont-reply-to-names is really supposed to be a superset, then I would prefer gnus-ignored-from-addresses to default of the combination of user-mail-address and message-alternative-emails as above. I still do believe that message-dont-reply-to-names is mostly used as a way to filter out yourself though, and using it as a default for gnus-ignored-from-addresses should be fine. The opposite should be always true however: message-dont-reply-to-names is probably always a subset of gnus-ignored-from-addresses, though it's probably defined too late to be used as a default. Any comment? I could supply a patch for this. ___ info-gnus-english mailing list info-gnus-english@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
