[gentoo-user] Thunderbird text message display oddities
Hey all, I'm not having any luck figuring out what's going on here, so I hope you can help. I have Thunderbird to display all messages in text, as I prefer that over html. However, some text messages display in a smaller and lighter font than the rest. It's really annoying since one of the reasons for text-only is to have every message the same. I don't see any commonality between the messages that display differently. Every time I think I see one, I find another message with the same feature that displays normally. I see this happen across all my email accounts, and on all mailing lists. Examples (found in gentoo-user) [Multiple error messages for each keystroke in nano] from Bob Young normal [Re: Multiple error messages for each keystroke in nano] from Francesco Talamona smaller, lighter font Ian Hilt's response to [Re: Multiple error messages for each keystroke in nano] normal I've found some 8-bit messages that are normal, some that are not. Ditto for 7-bit and unspecified encodings. I've seen people send both normal and odd messages. Most of my messages are normal, but some are not. Sometimes it seems like odd messages infect responses in the thread, but I've also found cases where it doesn't, or a message in the thread reverts to normal appearance. Any ideas, because I'm completely lost on this one. Google searches just bring up stuff on html messages or changing default Thunderbird settings. PaulNM -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] How to set package.use for layman overlays
I've just started to use layman tools and wondered if setting such things as /etc/portage/package.use would still be done in that same place and same way? I want to install an overlay of emacs-cvs but with different use flags I'm following along with the instruction at: http://www.enigmacurry.com/2007/05/24/multi-tty-emacs-on-gentoo-and-ubuntu/ On my laptop I run Gentoo Linux. Getting the latest version of Emacs on Gentoo was a breeze! : * Setup Layman * Add the emacs overlay: sudo layman -a emacs * Add the following USE flags for app-editors/emacs-cvs: sudo flagedit app-editors/emacs-cvs X Xaw3d alsa gif gzip-el jpeg lesstif png sound spell tiff toolkit-scroll-bars xpm -gtk -hesiod -motif -source. * GTK support is explicitly turned off as it causes problems with multi-TTY. This is no biggie for me as I always have (menu-bar-mode -1) and (tool-bar-mode -1) set. * Emerge: sudo emerge emacs-cvs -va * Tell the system to use the new emacs: sudo eselect emacs set emacs-23-multi-tty To get emacs-multitty set up. It isn't really clear what role layman plays in those instructions since the final command is emerge emacs-cvs Or will that automatically use the layman overlays. Or maybe the author assumes I don't already have emacs installed from /usr/portage. I realize this is a little offhanded since its asking advice about 2nd party instructions. But I have no experience whatever with layman or using overlays at all. So thought maybe better to ask here than directly to the author of those instructions. -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

I don't see an answer to my question there. How and where to set different use flags for layman as compared to usr/portage? Or lets say I set some USE flags in /usr/portage/local/layman/make.conf Depending on where that line: `source /usr/portage/local/layman/make.conf' is in /etc/make.conf it appears any USE flags set in ..layman/make.conf will either possible overwrite some in /etc/make.conf or the other way round. And the conglomerate will be what emerge runs with. It would also seem that /etc/portage/package.use would be global and include layman... is that right? So again, if one wanted to set some use flags differently for layman packages ... where and how would that be done? -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
