   Hello there,

   I would like to unsubscribe many newsgroups (when starting gnus without a
   .newsrc or .newsrc.el I have about 2100 newsgroups; and I subscribe to only 6 or
   10 or so).

   It seemed to me that unsubscribing all those newsgroups with "u" would take me
   very long. I also tried "ESC 1 0 0 0 u" but that unsubscribed just one
   newsgroup.

   ThanX a lot in advance,

           Kai

Thanks for all those helpful answers. They were:

(1)     Define a keyboard macro that does just "u" (unsubscribe). Then call this
        macro repeatedly.

(2)     Edit the .newsrc file replacing all the ":" with "!" for the newsgroups
        you don't want to read.

(3)     Edit the .newsrc.el file replacing the "t)" with "nil)" for the
        newsgroups you don't want to read.

Well I haven't tried all of these. (After all, there are only a limited number
of newsgroups to unsubscribe!) I used (1) with very good results. I think (1)
has the advantage of not working around instead of with gnus to do its thing, as
do (2) and (3).

Yes, there is a package called gnus-user-tale.el (made by

That seems like it would have been fixed in the full distro a while

  I have a utility for gnus which creates the function gnus-grab-gif.  
Unfortunately, I have lost the source to this program and need to recompile
it.  If anyone has it, or knows where it is stored, please either send me
email or post to this group.
  For those of you who do not know of this piece of lisp code; when invoked,
the function does the following:

	1) Breaks down the current line, and figures out how many parts

	2) Concatenates all the parts in the correct order

	3) Strips out unneeded parts

	4) UUdecodes the new file, and writes it to a specified directory

	Like you I have wanted to unsubscribe to a lot of groups when
first getting into gnus.  (Using the "u" key repeatedly takes forever).
Here are the methods that have worked for me:

    - If I know in advance what I want to read I put those groups in my
      .newsrc with a ":" after the name; all other groups I think that
      server supports get a "!" after the name.  Gnus parses the .newsrc
      and does a reasonable job.
    - If that fails (if I still have a lot of groups), I quit gnus,
      visit my .newsrc and "!" out the groups I don't want.  Then when I
      get back into gnus I don't have to unsubscribe to them.

This requires an extra step, but can save a lot of time if you have to
unsubscribe to more than a few dozen groups.  Regards,

My tek-highlight package does this.  It's in beta test at the moment
[i.e. no documentation :-)].  I can send a copy to you if you like.
Note that I'm on the end of a dial-up line, so if lots of people want
it, I will need to ask someone to put it up for ftp somewhere (i.e. I
can't mail it to more than a very few people).

You can even set it up to interact with BBDB so that articles posted
by people in your BBDB database are highlighted.  Very useful for
weeding out the interesting articles from the junk.

This problem seems to be related to gcc versions later than about 2.0.
If you look at the link command for temacs it will probably end with
-lc -lgcc. That should read -lgcc -lc, and you may need a -L option to
point ld at the gcc libraries. Maybe the distribution should be sorted
out for gcc 2.x ?

If I understand you correctly, you have to ask your window manager to make the keyboard focus follow the mouse. The man page for your window manager should tell you how to do this. If you use this feature with (setq auto-raise-screen t) and multiple overlapping epoch screens, don't move your mouse around too fast :-).

Two possibly related bugs occurring in Epoch 4.0 on a DEC Station:

1) In dired mode, I do "v" on a file. Then, whatever is its length, the
first SPC returns to the directory display, while ^V or M-V work as
expected.

2) In any mode, when visiting some file whose contents needs several
screens to be displayed, M-V stops working one screen before beginning
of the buffer, without beeping or saying anything. Repeated ^P or M-<
work as expected.

These errors do not occur with Emacs 18.58.

a couple of people have pointed out that the newest version of gnuserv
does exactly this. Grab gnuserv.tar.Z off the elisp-archive (not in
the epoch directory, I think it's in "packages") and install
gnuserv.el.epoch. Works like a charm - this buffer itself is of that
variety.

(what's gnuserv, you ask? Run it in your emacs, and set EDITOR and
VISUAL to be "gnuclient". When you run "gnuclient" it attaches to your
running emacs and adds in a new buffer. Big win.)

Here's a drop in replacement for the posted what-cursor-coordinates in

I have problems with compiling Epoch 4.2 in a RS/6000 running AIX 3.1.
The linker don't find the function XSetWMNormalHint nor XGetWMNormalHint,
called in files src/screen.c and src/xutil.c, under a conditional of the
form:

#ifdef PBaseSize
... Something with X?etWMNormalHint...
#else
... Something with X?etNormalHint...
)

Changing #ifdef by #ifndef I get a working (?) Epoch but, of course,
that's not convincing.  Somebody have a better solution?


Another question: How can I get Epoch recognize my IBM-spanish keyboard?
He accept 8-bit characters, but they don't correspond with the keys' labels
(openning exclamation mark translates to accented i, etc.).

Thanks.
