forward/insert a message in a reply message buffer

[Uwe Brauer]

Hello

I asked this some time ago, but I am not sure whether the following
feature has been implemented:
in a reply/followup buffer I want to insert/forward a message from any
other group something like

For example:


(insert-or-attach-or-forward
"Message-ID: <CAMErEMjN_Thvq0X4jdRYw2-B02HSrGGJX3LTZJcRwhKPgun=***@mail.gmail.com> Group: nnimap+UCMgmail:INBOX")


Maybe orgmode has some functionality of this sort?

I'm pretty sure I've posted this before. It's very klunky. Only tested with nnimap and nnml. It requires knowing the message number (not message-id) which I solve by displaying it with %N in my customized gnus-summary-line-format.

(defun dsg-message-attach-article (group message)
(interactive
(list (completing-read
"Group: " gnus-active-hashtb nil
(gnus-read-active-file-p)
nil
'gnus-group-history)
(read-number "Message: ")))
(let ((tmp (get-buffer-create (generate-new-buffer-name "*DSGTMP*"))))
(save-excursion
(set-buffer tmp)
(gnus-request-article-this-buffer message group))
(mml-attach-buffer (buffer-name tmp) "message/rfc822")))

This is awesome, thanks very much. :-D :-D
Lars: couldn't this be included in gnus mainstream?

I have a similar setting for gnus-summary-line-format, so I am used to
it.

However, just one observation, could this function use marked-messages
instead of the message number which would make it more comfortable?

BTW how is gnus-active-hashtb computed, because in my case it refers
also to some old imap setting I am not using anymore.

Having to type the message number makes it rather awkward to use, I
think...

Or, perhaps, there should be a command to do this the other way? Where
you select an article in a group, and then there's a command "attach
this article to this message buffer"?

Hmmm, that looks very familiar ....

That is exactly what I tried to do before punting and attaching by article number - I wanted something along the line of gnus-dired. Unfortunately that is beyond my level of lisp-fu.

Could you report this as a wishlist bug report, and I'll take a crack at
it later some time...

OK. How do I do that? M-x gnus-bug or someplace else?

Thanks,

`M-x report-emacs-bug' is best.
