Re: resend message: Wrong type argument: stringp, mail-user-name

 `name' is not provided according to your backtrace.  So I guess you
 have somewhere in your init file

 (setq user-full-name 'mail-user-name)

 whereas you probably wanted to write

 (setq user-full-name mail-user-name)

 That is, you accidentally set `user-full-name' to the symbol
 mail-user-name instead to the value of that variable.

 I have it set as described in the manual:

 (setq user-full-name Your Name)

 But, eh, I also use

 message-alternative-emails

 which the manual shows takes precedence over styles that ran off
 message-setup-hook. Perhaps that is what throws the spanner?

Hm, well, maybe.  The problem is that some variable that's intended to
contain the user name as a string actually contains the symbol
mail-user-name.  I've just grepped the emacs and gnus sources, and there
the symbol mail-user-name doesn't occur at all, so it's some local
customization of yours or maybe a third-party package that causes the
issue.

But you can use `apropos-value' to find variables that contain a value
whose print representation matches a given regex.  So what does

  M-x apropos-value RET ^mail-user-name$ RET

list?

Bye,
Tassilo

 Hi,

 If someone sends me an email message, I reply and then want to reply
 again with further information, what gnus function should I use?

 If I do resend edit or mail forward, I don't get the original
 message quoted.

 Currently I simply reply and have to remember to change the to-address
 from my own to that of the other person.

 Is there a better way?

 This works for me:

 S W runs the command gnus-summary-wide-reply-with-original.

This does what I want with regard to the quoting, but the to and cc
fields still need to be swapped.

If you have your own mail address configured (IIRC with
user-mail-address), gnus automatically removes it.  Otherwise, you can
use C-c C-f t, command message-reduce-to-to-cc while editing the
message and after S W.

Problem with encoding in header

2014-11-21 Thread Remi Vanicat
Hello,

From recently, I've a problem when sending mail or posting with gnus: it
doesn't seem to quote the accentuated letter anymore in header, making
Emacs ask me about what encoding I want for them, and from time to time
the mail will be reject from some server (debian.org) claiming it
doesn't respect the RFC.

I'm using gnus from Emacs 24.4 as packaged in debian sid as of today
(November the 21). And I've no idea of the source of the problem.

Strange, I don't remember something changing in this area recently; my
quite old Gnus settings work fine with recent versions of Emacs...

Could you give additional details about the problem? What is the precise
error message you get? Maybe the main settings you have in .emacs and
.gnus.el about encodings (did you customize gnus-group-posting-charset-alist ?).

Thanks,

That is odd - have you changed anything in your configuration recently?

 I'm using gnus from Emacs 24.4 as packaged in debian sid as of today
 (November the 21). And I've no idea of the source of the problem.

I am using Emacs 24.4 from Debian sid and Gnus from git, and I always
have an 'ø' in my headers, so I would have noticed if it was happening
to me as well...


  Best regards,

Adam
