I mean, the real version 19? Not epoch, or lucid.  I seem to 
recall some fairly recent grumblings about a gnu emacs version 19, but 
even this was a while ago. What ever happened to that, and if it's still 
around, can I pick up an alpha? I'll even promise to be pleasant on bugs 
reports, and not keep forgetting to send in fixes. :)

If it's not, what is the recommended replacement?

Subject: How do I e-lisp this?
From: jew@venus.sunquest.com (Ward... James Ward)
Date: 18 Nov 92 10:45:10
Distribution: world,local
Organization: Sunquest Information Systems


I've never written in e-lisp, but I have a problem I need to solve in
it.  I figure it is probably easy, but would like some suggestions.
Is this the right place to ask this question?

Here's the problem:

While interacting with a program using emacs' tinymud.el, I'd like to
be able to take a message containing directions from one place to
another and convert them into movement commands and issue the to the
muse.

Input:

Caspian pages: Path from Foyer to Cyberion City University, type Out, Out, s,
Spin(to Main Transportation Spine <Section 7>), type 1 (to Main Transportation
Spine <Section 1>), s, uni (to Cyberion City University).

Output: (one word per line followed by an enter at the end of the buffer)

Out
Out
s
Spin
1
s
uni


Details: Caspian is a program, so his output is always of this form.
The directions begin with "type" or "Type", and are separated by
commas.  All text prior to the first occurence of "[Tt]ype", all
occurences of "[Tt]ype", and all text between parenthesis need to be
discarded.

So, what I'd like to be able to do is mark a region, and have some
e-lisp do the rest, including entering the movement commands for me at
the bottom of the buffer.  Any e-lisp wizards out there want to take a
stab at this one?

Thanks in advance!

Here is the problem. You should just use "s" (gnus-Group-force-update)
to properly update the .newsrc.el file. Unfortunately, GNUS may not
always realize that .newsrc.el is out of date, and thus the problem.
Without digging through masses of GNUS' code, I suspect that the date/
time comparison between .newsrc and .newsrc.el is only using part of
the date/timestamp.

Could some kind soul tell me how I would change the From: field in
the header? My company has one and only one address for employees --
It is fixed, and is not related to what machine we post from. However
whenever I post with gnus, it makes my From: address equal to the 
machine I am posting from -- Any mail people send to this address
will be bounced! since it is not the official company address. *sigh*

There are many lisp-files in my gnews directory, ie .el files and .elc
files. I have changed these but I cannot figure out for certain which
files are being used since not all of my changes show up as expected.
And so far, I have been unable to correct this From: field issue.
(As one can see by reading this post.) Does something have to be
recompiled to get changed? 

I really want to fix this problem -- It is very annoying to ask for
help and then have people complain that when the responded, all their
mail was bounced back. Any help would be much appreciated.

Not sure if this helps you but anyway. Can't do this in GNUS, but
still a good way to sort .newsrc.

Organization: CIRES, University of Colorado
Date: 15 Nov 92 09:02:38


I've been having some really weird problems with gnus these last few
days; there have been three things that are bugging me.

1 - It won't let me remove some newsgroups from my newsgroup list. I
use C-k in the *Newsgroups* buffer and it seems to work fine, but the
next time Iun gnus those damn groups are back again. Not all groups,
just about 15 or so, always the same groups (alt.adoption is one of
them, for example).

2 - Used to be that when I was reading articles, with the *Subject*
buffer in the top window and the articles appearing in the bottome
window, if I hit c it would ask "are you sure you want to mark
everything as read (y or n)" (or something similar), I would hit y and
it would send me back to the *Newsgroups* buffer. Now when I do that
it will go to the next newsgroup, fetch those articles and I'll never
go back to the newsgroups buffer.

3 - When manuvering around the articles it now will follow a thread
and then pop back up to the first unread message in the group, if I
just keep hitting the space bar. It used to just move down the list in
order and I could skip articles I didn't want to read. Now if I do
that it runs back up there when I'm not paying attention and makes me
read them too! I used to have to follow threads with C-M-n.

I have been making a lot of changes to various emacs things, but not
to gnus. I've looked at the manual and nothing is leaping out at me.
Any help?

Shouldn't the kill file be applied *before* all that tedious parsing
and shuffeling of headers?

It appears that killing is the last thing to happen before I get the
surviving articles.

I'd think this could be important for speed (killed 1800 articles in
comp.sys.amiga.hardware today, yay!)

   It's not the "From:" header you want to change -- it's "Reply-to:".  Put
   this in your ~/.emacs:

     (setq mail-default-reply-to "vaitkus@ceres.lexmark.com (Keith Vaitkus)")

I'm not sure what this will do. mail-default-reply-to is a variable in
mh-e.el. I grepped for it on $EMACS/lisp/rmail*.el, but didn't find it. 

Here's an excerpt from the gnus manual that I think answers the question:

File: gnus  Node: GENERICFROM, Prev: Domain, Up: Environment, Next: GENERICPATH

GENERICFROM
-----------

  If the variable `gnus-use-generic-from' is non-`nil', the local host
name of your machine will not appear in the `From:' field of article
headers you post.  This is called the "GENERICFROM" feature in the Bnews
system.  This may be useful if there are many workstations connected to
each other in a local area network, and aliases service or automatic
forwarding of mail is supported between the workstations.

  To use the GENERICFROM, put the following code in `.emacs',
`site-init.el' or `default.el'.  If you are a system administrator and
are installing GNUS for other users, `site-init.el' is the best place to
define it because the definition is common to all users of the system
having the same domain and organization (*Note Domain and Organization:
Domain.).

     (setq gnus-use-generic-from t)

  As a special case of the GENERICFROM feature, if the variable
`gnus-use-generic-from' is a string, it is used as your domain instead
of the definition of the environment variable `DOMAINNAME' or the
variable `gnus-your-domain' (*Note Domain and Organization: Domain.).

I have just sent to gnu-emacs-sources/gnu.emacs.sources patches to
make GNUS a hierarchical newsreader.  What I mean by that is that when
you start up GNUS for the first time, rather than showing you all the
newsgroups, it will just show one line for each top-level hierarchy
("soc", "rec", "alt", etc.).  You can then unsubscribe to the whole
hierarchy with one keystroke, or you can type space to "explode" the
hierarchy into all the second-level groups and hierarchies (e.g.
"comp" will explode into "comp.sys", "comp.os", "comp.compilers",
etc.).

I know, according to the MAILINGLISTS file distributed with emacs
18.57, I'm not supposed to send this message, but I doubt they had
info-gnus-english in mind when they wrote that.

Zippy-Sez: I love ROCK 'N ROLL!  I memorized the all WORDS to ``WIPE-OUT'' in 1965!!

I've been having trouble using gnus with some headers. I get this
error in the minibuffer :

Args out of range: "ygor@aplexus \\.jhuapl.EDU \\",28

The header in question (I think) contained the line :

From: ygor@aplexus \.jhuapl.EDU \ (\, \, \, Daniel E. White \(F2C\))

Anyone else had this problem (and perhaps fixed it) ?

Has anybody written a function for GNUS that sticks a kill command for
the current subject (without re's, hopefully) in the kill file for the
current newsgroup and performs all of those kills?  That seems to be
the format of most of my kills.

Whenever I try to reply to a news message from gnus, the subject field
comes out empty.  There's a Subject line in the header, but the field
is blank.  Since subjects work correctly when I reply to email, I
assume this is something wrong in the interaction between gnus and
rmail.  How do I fix it?

Emacs 18.59.1 and gnus 3.13.  Supercite connected, if that matters.
