What is it?  It's a package to enable you to cite(i.e. include from
a previous message, with prefixes and other fancy stuff if you so
desire) text for and from mail and netnews posts.  If you can ftp,
check on the site:

archive.cis.ohio-state.edu

in the directory:
/pub/gnu/emacs/elisp-archive/packages

and get the file:
sc-2.2.tar.Z

Which will give you the distribution package for SuperCite, which
has an informative texinfo file.  If you're not able to ftp, or
you don't know how to use a texinfo file, mail me, and I see if
I can help you through.

We have pnews running properly at our site, but gnus-post-news cannot
post an article, reporting:

  Article rejected: User usenet does not exist!  Can't post.

on all machines *except* our server.  The server is providing NNTP,
NIS (Sun Yellow Pages), and MX sendmail support.  The usenet alias is
defined in /etc/aliases on the server machine, which NIS transports to
all NIS clients.  The clients can send mail (using Emacs mail command,
for example) to usenet just fine.

Since I am the only person using GNUS heavily, and since pnews is
running, I am not getting much help from my system administrator.
However, I have tried everything I can think of -- loading usenet in a
client's /etc/aliases, in my .mailrc, etc.  Any ideas where I should
look?

GNUS is a news reader. Even when playing mail reader, "articles" (mail
messages) must be in the standard news heirarchial structure. But not only
does each article file name be a number, but the headers of each message
must include a Message-ID field. Message-ID is a news header, not a mail
header, so GNUS doesn't write it out.

Because posting requires either NNTP or inews; mail reading should use
mail-mode, not gnus-post-news mode.

It sounds more like you are using GNUS to read from a local news spool
instead of an NNTP server. Re-read your documentation, specifically for
local news spools and nnspool.el, *not* private directories. GNUS'
functionality reading private directories is as a mail reader, not a news
reader.

I'd like to be able to enable group reading/writing of a private

INFO tells me that "If an NNTP server is preceded by a colon such as
':Mail', the user's private directory '~/Mail' is used as the news
spool."

Great its seems it is just what I want. Unfortunately, for some
obscure reason, the loaded library mhspool.el refuses to read any of
the files previously written by GNUS itself ('o' command), even when
file names are composed of ascii numeric characters as required by
this library (why such a limitation, by the way?)

On the other hand posting is rejected by this library as a nonsense
operation. Why could not I "post" -meaning write- in a local

Has anybody answers to my problem in reading/writing a private

It seems a shame to tell nntp to read all of the articles just to
kill based on Control.  Last time I tried, it complained about no
such header.

GNUS 3.14.1; NNTP 3.10

Any suggestions?  Thanks.

If a newsgroup is moderated, surely it would be better for GNUS to mail
posted articles directly to the moderator (via uunet, or some other
reliable forwarder), than to rely on the local news server for this.  The
news server may or may not forward postings reliably.

Eliminate the middleman!  Has anyone implemented this?

The code is structured so that implementing stuff like that shouldn't take
that much work, but I didn't need it so I didn't write it.  If someone else

^C^S^S usually works for me.  When it doesn't, I hack the buffer by hand.

That's because the hooks are not defvar'd in the gnus code. Gnus uses
code from distribution lisp.  Check there.

It doesn't set it up to kill on, anyway.  However, you can use the Xref:
header to kill on, since that contains the same information.  (It's
probably a bit faster, too, since *only* crossposted articles will have
an Xref: header).

(gnus-kill "Xref" ...)

I often use & and Xref to blow away threads I've already seen when I
subscribe to a new group, since I don't have GNUS update unsubscribed
groups in my .newsrc.

I'm using gnus 3.13.  It seems to thread articles based on the References
field, ignoring the subject line contents. For example, it gives me
multiple lines: 

D 890:+[ 48:bradm@anchor.] Re: changing indentation thingees
  891: [  7:diecph@ucunix] Re: changing indentation thingees

which should be a part of just one thread, based on the Subject:

D 890:+[ 48:bradm@anchor.] Re: changing indentation thingees...

Would using 3.14 improve this behavior?
