The following message is a courtesy copy of an article that has been posted to gnu.emacs.gnus as well.
In gnus Info it says: `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 (*note 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. 1. what is the (`a') all about? Oh, I see, when one hits "a". 2. so I set gnus-mailing-list-groups to match and now it just replies to the sender. 3. OK, So, I must go, for each debian group I'm subscribed to, into the special group parameters editor, and make them by hand into their mailing list addresses. Then I suppose I also have to go into the group parameters and set how I want my From address to look, as I prefer a different From address when I reply to a mail group vs. replying to one person. I must do this over and over by hand for each debian group. $ noffle -l|grep debian gmane.linux.debian.user news.gmane.org over linux.debian.user news.sinica.edu.tw full linux.debian.user.chinese.big5 news.sinica.edu.tw full ... I suppose all my sed skill are for naught and I can save my $ noffle -l|sed -n '/^linux\./{;s/^linux\.//;s/ .*//;s/\./-/g;s/$/@lists.debian.org/p;}' debian-user@lists.debian.org [EMAIL PROTECTED] ... for mom. No, I don't suppose there is a way for me, when in a group that matches /^linux/ or /^gmane/ to do my various regexp substitution schemes that come up with the correct mailing address of the group, so that when I hit a or f or F it does the right thing. Another approach is for me to use my above regexp to generate a whole group parameters blob for many groups that I could somehow paste into my .newsrc.eld ... yuck. Anyways, why with the million features do I always need to use the ones that aren't there. -- http://jidanni.org/ Taiwan(04)25854780 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
