Always wide-reply in some newsgroups

[Tassilo Horn]

Hi all,

is there a trick to make Gnus always doing wide replies in some
newsgroups, also if I press `F' / `f'?

The background: I read some bug lists such as

nntp+Gmane:gmane.emacs.auctex.bugs
nntp+Gmane:gmane.emacs.bugs

via Gmane. My muscle memory is wired to `F' for replying to some
article. However, following-up on an article will make my reply appear
on the bug list, but most probably the reporter of that bug isn't
subscribed to the list and thus won't see my reply.

Bye,
Tassilo

Yes. I use the feature in this very mailing list. I read this through
Gmane and have the following setting as part of my gnus-parameters:

(".*:gmane\\.emacs\\.gnus\\.user$"
(to-list . "info-gnu...@gnu.org"))

Ah, right. Now I use this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq gnus-parameters
`([...]
;; In Gmane bug list groups, following up should wide reply
(,(rx (or "gmane.emacs.auctex.bugs"
"gmane.emacs.bugs"))
(to-list . ""))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Thanks,

I do something similar I think. Whenever I have a group that I know for
sure that mails there are coming from a mailing list, I open a
message and run M-x gnus-mailing-list-insignuate (or press A M).

For example, on cedet-devel, the following group parameter was added:

(to-list . "cedet...@lists.sourceforge.net")

Also pressing a from that group will add the to-list address in the
To: field automatically which I find extremely valuable.

Ah, nice, I didn't know this one.

For mailing list groups, I have

(gnus-add-to-list t)

entries in `gnus-parameters'. This makes Gnus set a `to-list' parameter
automatically when sending the first mail from that group.

Yes, that's very convenient. But with the two bug report groups, that's
not important, because you never send messages to the lists directly,
but only thru `M-x report-emacs-bug' or `M-x TeX-submit-bug-report'.
Therefore I use only one single `gnus-parameters' entry above with the
empty string as value for `to-list'.
