saving gwene RSS posts
What's the best/preferred way to save RSS full text feeds? I've subscribed to a few RSS feeds and I'd like to save some of those articles/posts. I think mailing them to myself is certainly not the way. something like marking them and upon exiting the group, it copies the article to a nnml folder, perhaps? sivaram -- ___ info-gnus-english mailing list info-gnus-english@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english

Well there's gnus-summary-copy-article bound to B c. It prompts you "Copy this article to: " and you can specify the group/folder to which you want it copied. Perhaps that's what you're looking for. It gives you tab completion of the group name, but I find it a bit strange to use. I'm new to tab completion in Emacs, though, so this is possibly just my ignorance. (For example it's strangely powerful in some ways -- you can be incredibly terse -- but it's case sensitive which I find awkward.)

Gnus can copy messages to local storage using a caching mechanism.

See > the manual for details. I've had a look at article caching and I can't figure how that would apply to my use case. Some RSS articles I want to save for long term reference. Is it enough to simply copy them to some other folder, preferably in the same format that I see in the gwene ng? 3.16 Saving Articles section gives some options that I find it hard to choose from. Any advice? sivaram -- ___ info-gnus-english mailing list info-gnus-english@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english

The `*' command will cache the message locally. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no/ ___ info-gnus-english mailing list info-gnus-english@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english

Looks like I misunderstood what the * option does for caching. I've been marking some articles with * and I see that it has all expired now and no longer in the group. I think my use case goes like this. How I keep certain articles in the group without it ever expiring unless I mark it for deletion or delete it. I've subbed to some RSS feeds where I'd like to retain specific posts forever within the group. How do I do that, please? sivaram -- ___ info-gnus-english mailing list info-gnus-english@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english

They should be still there, try `Y c' in the summary buffer, see (info "(gnus) Summary Generation Commands") > How I keep certain articles in the group without it ever expiring > unless I mark it for deletion or delete it. Change the value of gnus-use-cache from `passive' to some other non-nil value. You can then mark those articles as `ticked' or `dormant' and that will automatically mark them as persistent as well. See (info "(gnus) Article Caching") and (info "(gnus) Unread Articles"). Alternatively (well, even at the same time...) you could agentize the server in question and then you don't need any of the stuff described above since, by default, the agent doesn't expire ticked articles in its own cache (which is different from the cache described above).

I've found that this works for me, so far at least anyway.

Agentize is not something I want to try for fear of downloading massive list of articles. Besides I'm likely to mess things up with agent. sivaram -- ___ info-gnus-english mailing list info-gnus-english@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
