gnus: Mail and Post
5.4 Mail and Post
=================
Here’s a list of variables relevant to both mailing and posting:
‘gnus-mailing-list-groups’
If your news server offers groups that are really mailing lists
gatewayed to the NNTP server, you can read those groups without
problems, but you can’t post/followup to them without some
difficulty. One solution is to add a ‘to-address’ to the group
parameters (
Group Parameters). An easier thing to do is
set the ‘gnus-mailing-list-groups’ to a regexp that matches the
groups that really are mailing lists. Then, at least, followups to
the mailing lists will work most of the time. Posting to these
groups (‘a’) is still a pain, though.
‘gnus-user-agent’
This variable controls which information should be exposed in the
User-Agent header. It can be a list of symbols or a string. Valid
symbols are ‘gnus’ (show Gnus version) and ‘emacs’ (show Emacs
version). In addition to the Emacs version, you can add ‘codename’
(show (S)XEmacs codename) or either ‘config’ (show system
configuration) or ‘type’ (show system type). If you set it to a
string, be sure to use a valid format, see RFC 2616.
You may want to do spell-checking on messages that you send out. Or,
if you don’t want to spell-check by hand, you could add automatic
spell-checking via the ‘ispell’ package:
(add-hook 'message-send-hook 'ispell-message)
If you want to change the ‘ispell’ dictionary based on what group
you’re in, you could say something like the following:
(add-hook 'gnus-select-group-hook
(lambda ()
(cond
((string-match
"^de\\." (gnus-group-real-name gnus-newsgroup-name))
(ispell-change-dictionary "deutsch"))
(t
(ispell-change-dictionary "english")))))
Modify to suit your needs.
If ‘gnus-message-highlight-citation’ is ‘t’, different levels of
citations are highlighted like in Gnus article buffers also in message
mode buffers.
