gnus: Uuencoded Articles
3.17.1 Uuencoded Articles
-------------------------
‘X u’
Uudecodes the current series (‘gnus-uu-decode-uu’).
‘X U’
Uudecodes and saves the current series
(‘gnus-uu-decode-uu-and-save’).
‘X v u’
Uudecodes and views the current series (‘gnus-uu-decode-uu-view’).
‘X v U’
Uudecodes, views and saves the current series
(‘gnus-uu-decode-uu-and-save-view’).
Remember that these all react to the presence of articles marked with
the process mark. If, for instance, you’d like to decode and save an
entire newsgroup, you’d typically do ‘M P a’ (‘gnus-uu-mark-all’) and
then ‘X U’ (‘gnus-uu-decode-uu-and-save’).
All this is very much different from how ‘gnus-uu’ worked with GNUS
4.1, where you had explicit keystrokes for everything under the sun.
This version of ‘gnus-uu’ generally assumes that you mark articles in
some way (Setting Process Marks) and then press ‘X u’.
Note: When trying to decode articles that have names matching
‘gnus-uu-notify-files’, which is hard-coded to
‘[Cc][Ii][Nn][Dd][Yy][0-9]+.\\(gif\\|jpg\\)’, ‘gnus-uu’ will
automatically post an article on ‘comp.unix.wizards’ saying that you
have just viewed the file in question. This feature can’t be turned
off.
