[gnu.emacs.gnus] system-name, fcc, mh-rmail

mrd@SUN.SOE.CLARKSON.EDU (11/22/88)

1) On line 4961-2 and 4979 of gnus.el you have

  (if (string-match "\\." (system-name))
      (setq gnus-your-domain (substring (system-name) (match-end 0))))

	      (string-match "\\." (system-name))) ;Full internet name.

I have found that deleting the first two lines and changing the third to

	      (string-match domain (system-name))) ;Full internet name.

works better.  The reason being that our host is a sun running sun
O.S. 4.0.  Well, in case you haven't heard, 4.0 is cursed.  Our
hostname is therefore sun.soe when you are on the host but off the
host, the name is sun.soe.clarkson.edu.

2) It would be nice if an FCC: were put into the post-news header when
you are writting it, as in mail.  This way it is possible to not save
something that you write.

3) If the user uses mh-rmail instead of rmail then it would be useful
if mh-smail was used instead for mailing and replying and posting etc.

Next version of GNUS will generate domain name in the following order:

	(1) DOMAINNAME environment variable
	(2) gnus-your-domain lisp variable
	(3) system-name lisp function if the return value contains "."

In this case, you can use (1) or (2) to define your correct domain.

   2) It would be nice if an FCC: were put into the post-news header when

It is possible to process such fields in gnus-Inews-article-hook. I'm
not sure it can be included in the next version because I'm busy now.

   3) If the user uses mh-rmail instead of rmail then it would be useful

I'm RMAIL user. I don't know much about mh-e. If you send me mh-e
supports, I will include it.
