Here is our setup:
Gnus 3.12
Emacs 18.54
Ultrix 3.1
Non-nntp (ie we get our news via uucp)
Cnews <----- This is the biggie!
Is anybody running Gnus under Cnews? The Lines: header is not
being *written* out when I post articles? Is there a way for
Gnus to do that before shipping it off to inews ?
People running rn here have no problem with the lines header so
I don't think it is a configuration problem.
Note: I am not an emacs lisp hacker though I try to be one on TV
Respond to this address or the list in general.
thanks

PS. Any other hints/tips/caveats with Cnews that I can pass on to
those in charge of news and mail?
PPS.
After reading the manual a little bit, I think I may have worked
up some pseudo-lisp code
(setq gnus-Inews-article-hook
'(lambda ()
;; Insert a Lines: header line
(insert "Lines: " lines "\n")
))
Will this work? I should be able to do this in my .emacs right?
I know, I know "How stupid can this guy be?" I am a C hacker,
not lisp (yuck!)maine@elxsi.dfrf.nasa.gov (Richard Maine) (09/09/89)

I did and it works fine with gnus. If you are a c hacker, you ought to be pretty much at home with modifying the inews shell script. There is a long, religious discussion in news.bnews over whether this lines stuff and whether it should be defaulted on or off etc. But it does work. I'm not enough of a lisp hacker to comment on your lisp solution with any degree of confidence. I'll leave that to others. But if you put the change in inews (or have your news people do it)., you don't need the lisp changes. -- Richard Maine maine@elxsi.dfrf.nasa.gov [130.134.1.1]
