registry marks?

Post by Peter Davis
I'm running gnus 5.13 and, while the gnus menu offers an option for
adding registry marks to a message, the variable gnus-registry-marks is
undefined, and none of my attempts to mark a message work.
Is there something I have to configure to enable this feature?
I'm assuming once I've marked messages, I can somehow retrieve them by
mark, or list all the messages marked Important or whatever, right? I'm
using nnimap.

Have you required the gnus-registry library, and put
(gnus-registry-initialize) in your init files? I can't think of any
other way that `gnus-registry-marks' would be undefined...

Ok, that definitely helps. Now I can see the values for
gnus-registry-marks, but when I try to add one, e.g., via `M M i', I get:

Removing mark nil with message ID <***@ericabrahamsen.net>, resulting in nil

Also, for some reason, adding these two lines:

(require 'gnus-registry)
(gnus-registry-initialize)

to my .gnus.el file has broken some of my keyboard definitions. For
example, 'd', which I had defined to mark a message as expirable and
move to the next one:

... (local-set-key "d" [?M ?M ?e ?e down ?g])

now gives me the error:

After 0 kbd macro iterations: undefined: Keyboard macro terminated by a command ringing the bell

Yup, looks like the commands were being given to the function backwards.
I've pushed a patch for this, would you try it out?

I'd be happy to, Eric, but I confess that I don't know how to do that. I'm running Gnus on Aquamacs 3.2 GNU Emacs 24.4.51.2. Can I
just pull a .el file from somewhere, substitute it for an existing file, and then restart emacs? Or do I have to rebuild a binary?

(If I find out how to do this, maybe I can also try out some of the very tempting IMAP improvements people have been talking about.)
