Re: Gnus notification of replies to my articles

2020-03-13 Thread Helmut Waitzmann

Richmond :

Is it possible to get gnus to tell me of replies to my articles? 



I don't know. 



or maybe raise the score of them? 



Yes.  Make a scoring rule:  In the summary buffer, while reading 
one of your articles, type the key sequence “I f e p” and then 
your name and e‐mail address (which is already filled in as a 
proposal).  Then type “RET” or “C-j”.


That should add a permanent scoring rule to the current newsgroup 
raising all direct followups to all articles the “From” header 
field value of consists of your name and e‐mail address.

I did.  It is indeed one-way.  I usually read using nntp...

Interesting.  My gnus showed last posting back in February.

It would be helpful if Lars could jump in and clarify the situation with
nntp and the gnus mailing list/groups...

And maybe also why the gateway changes the message ID (going back to the
original problem ;-)).

Did you post the above on the news server? It seems to be a one-way
gateway, although there is no obvious indication of that. I have cut and
pasted the above into email.

I checked the group nntp+news.gmane.io:gmane.emacs.gnus.general and
there is a post four days ago. I wasn't subscribed to it, but I am now.

With gmane it used to be that you had to register your email with the
mailing list, then you could post with the same email on nntp, but I
don't know what the arrangement is here, I haven't tried that hard to
find out, just instead muddled through.

OK so the message-id I set (*richmond.example.com) was moved from
message-id to references, which breaks the thread on the news
server. But seems to work ok for email.

Something wasn't quite right, because when looking at the news server,
and I pressed ^ from your article, it did not find my article. I have
complicated things by using different instances of gnus for email and
news. So when I use this email instance and did the same thing, it did
find the article.

So this post is by email and I have tried to set a message-id...

Mailing lists, or at least this one, do not touch the message id
header.  In my experience, although the message-id may not be truly
unique, when I used the references scoring option, it worked well.  Try
with a reasonable regex for your typical message id and see if it works
generally before worrying about having to make it unique?

Nope, the first 2 Chars in the MID a generated from the UID of the User:
In my Setup the fsf Part is replaced with the name of the current PC.


Here is the Code for this - perhaps you can better finetune the Scoring.


--8<---cut here---start->8---
(defun message-unique-id ()
  ;; Don't use microseconds from (current-time), they may be unsupported.
  ;; Instead we use this randomly inited counter.
  (setq message-unique-id-char
(% (1+ (or message-unique-id-char
   (random (ash 1 20
   ;; (current-time) returns 16-bit ints,
   ;; and 2^16*25 just fits into 4 digits i base 36.
   (* 25 25)))
  (let ((tm (current-time)))
(concat
 (if (or (eq system-type 'ms-dos)
 ;; message-number-base36 doesn't handle bigints.
 (floatp (user-uid)))
 (let ((user (downcase (user-login-name
   (while (string-match "[^a-z0-9_]" user)

   user)
   (message-number-base36 (user-uid) -1))
 (message-number-base36 (+ (car tm)
   (ash (% message-unique-id-char 25) 16)) 4)

Yes, that works.

I have this in my all.SCORE:

   ("references"
("<87[0-9a-z]+\\.fsf\\(_-_\\)?@.*koldfront.dk>" nil nil r))

I think the way Gnus generates Message-IDs, the first two chars are
stable per machine (or perhaps user), or something like that.

You could try adding an entry along the lines of

("references"
  ("" 100 nil r))

to your .SCORE file where the regex is something that matches your
emails, i.e. the typical message-id of your emails (which, for instance,
is <7ywo7skzgd@gmx.com> for the article I'm responding to).  What I
don't know is whether there is a regex that would work generally to
identify your articles.  Message IDs are a mystery to me.
