You seem to get a lot of spam. While it is mostly the job of the server software not to propagate it, last line of defense client-side anti-spam is something I would like to have better. I have the KILL file which may look like this: (gnus-kill "From" "\"Dealsbycm.se\"" '(gnus-summary-mark-as-read nil "X") t) ;; etc. (gnus-expunge "X") I do like the idea of basing anti-spam on header-value pairs (and regexps), so you can just block them off one by one. (On the server probably something more advanced/powerful and algorithmic is called for, depending on volume.) What I don't like with the KILL file solution is that it is in code (Elisp) contrary to just have a textfile of data. I did some work to automatize it: it works, without giving the impression of being rock-steady. Something like that should definitely be added to Gnus if it isn't already. http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573/conf/emacs-init/gnus/lamer.el http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573/conf/.zsh/special/gnus_kill But I do get spam very rarely so someone must be doing something right. -- underground experts united ___ info-gnus-english mailing list info-gnus-english@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english

Without the configuration, translates to
in the Linux VTs.
Those keys are both very good, so why have them do the
same thing? It is a waste.
For example, I use to scroll a "pane" (and
to scroll a line), and to switch between
buffers.
Here is how to get both keys, again in a Linux VT:
In /etc/console-setup/remap.inc
alt keycode 15 = U+1003 # M-TAB
Then execute this function:
lkeys () {
sudo loadkeys --clearcompose --clearstrings \
/etc/console-setup/remap.inc > /dev/null
}
Last, in an Emacs init file:
(define-key input-decode-map [?\u1003] [M-tab])

There's that, which doesn't have to be a bad thing, but also: if the mail doesn't show up anywhere, I perceive them as virtually deleted. If they are deleted they can still be retrieved, but that would be uncertain and require work. Better to know they are 100% "retrievable" and then still never do it, anyway. Many people form the Windows world want the Linux (etc.) systems to be "clean", "minimalist", and so on. This is a misconception, but I understand where it comes from. On a Windows computer there are one thousand things that runs in the so-called "background" that pops up all the time, and drains your computer of resources, and your mind of mindfulness. However, this isn't the same as having one thousand binaries in /usr/bin or ten thousand mails as textfiles in ~/Mail/mail/misc - and while removing those files will make your system less *powerful*, it won't get any more clean or minimalist. Just sayin' as an example, not applying to anyone in particular. -- underground experts united ___ info-gnus-english mailing list info-gnus-english@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english

Nothing, on the contrary, that is the right way, however since it is such an easy thing to do which you don't do that often, I suspect there are people who did their own Elisp to do it, and people who just do it manually, instead of finding out there is a builtin way to do it. > Initially, I just wanted to point you to > `message-change-subject' Yes, we understood :) (message-change-subject NEW-SUBJECT) Ask for NEW-SUBJECT header, append (was: ). -- underground experts united ___ info-gnus-english mailing list info-gnus-english@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english

That's true, but OTOH I favor a strict separation of keys, e.g., Control and Meta are reserved for emacs, Super is reserved for the X11 window manager.
