[gnu.emacs.gnus] gnus-Subject-rmail-digest

clamen@CS.CMU.EDU (Stewart Clamen) (08/04/89)

For some reason, since switching to GNUS 3.12,
(gnus-Subject-rmail-digest), bound to ^D in the Subject window, is
displaying the 2 resulting windows (one for message headers, and one
for undigestified messages) in reverse order (ie. the header window is
the height that the message window should be and vice versa).

Has anyone else noticed this, or could it be something strange in my
environment?

I've noticed the inverted window problem too.  I looked at the code,
which is more than a little opaque.  There's a nice comment explaining
that the goal is to put the "GNUS Digest-summary" buffer in the window
used by the *Subject* buffer and the "GNUS Digest" buffer in the
window used by the *Article* buffer.  All well and good.  But the code
doesn't seem to do anything of the sort, and in fact goes off and does
something with the window that the *Newsgroups*" buffer is in instead.
There is also some non-obvious use of (pop-to-buffer), which seems
completely weird given that GNUS has a specific window configuration
goal in mind but really can't predict what (pop-to-buffer) will do.

My guess is that (gnus-Subject-rmail-digest) hasn't been properly
updated for the brave new world of configurable GNUS windows, which
didn't exist before GNUS 3.12.

I've noticed the GNUS bug with the digest windows, too.

Another bug is somewhere in handling the Subject-buffer.  Sometimes when there
are a lot of articles in a group and I do several kills, on the last article
or on the one before the last the cursor jumps up almost to the top of the
Subject-buffer.  I can prevent this by doing 'x', but who remembers to do that
all the time.

I forgot this from the previous article.  When I do a followup or a reply, I
always end up with two windows of the same size and the Subjects on the bottom
window.  I would think that the original window setting (that is before making
a follow-up or a reply) should be restored.
