  Re: Setting the From: header in slrn
 
(...) Don't mess with the Message-ID header. --Todd (24 years ago, 30-Jun-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.admin.nntp)
 
  Re: Setting the From: header in slrn
 
(...) Setting that header wouldn't have any effect -- the server ignores it if the client sends it. --Todd (24 years ago, 30-Jun-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.admin.nntp)
 
  Re: Setting the From: header in slrn
 
(...) I dunno. I think that the nntp server has final authority on that, but I'm still catching up on my nntp know-how... Cheers, - jsproat (24 years ago, 30-Jun-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.admin.nntp)
 
  Coercing truncation in brief view on website (was: Re: test apple ignore berry)
 
(...) It sounds like what people are looking for is some way to proactively cause the "Brief" mode display to truncate content at a specific location -- presumably for spoilers...? The "right" way to handle that would be to truncate anything (...) (24 years ago, 30-Jun-00, to lugnet.off-topic.test, lugnet.admin.nntp)
 
  Re: Setting the From: header in slrn
 
(...) or, you could do it that way, too. :) any idea how to change the messageid header? (24 years ago, 29-Jun-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.admin.nntp)
 
  Re: Setting the From: header in slrn
 
(...) Actually, the problem was coming from the fact that slrn uses () instead of <> to separate the two, and the order *is* reversed. Here's what I ended up doing: In .slrnrc: interpret "lugnet_macros.sl" in lugnet_macros.sl: define (...) (24 years ago, 29-Jun-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.admin.nntp)
 
  Re: Setting the From: header in slrn
 
(...) put these lines in your ~/.slrnrc file: hostname "io.com" set username "jsproat" set realname" Sproaticus" you'll probably also want the 'set custom_headers "X-Real-Life-Name: your name here"', too, if you don't already have it. you might have (...)

  Re: Setting the From: header in slrn
 
(...) I'd get around a lot faster if my foot wasn't always in my mouth. Item #13 in the slrn FAQ in v0.9.6.2 specifies how to do this. I just need to define a s-lan macro called "make_from_string_hook" that returns the "From:" header as a string. (...) (24 years ago, 29-Jun-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.admin.nntp)
 
  Setting the From: header in slrn
 
Arg. My nntp "From:" header usually looks like this: From: "Sproaticus" <jsproat@io.com> ...but for some reason, slrn seems to want to do this: From: Sproaticus@yo-yo.pro...novell.com (Sproaticus) ...and won't let me change it. This header is (...) (24 years ago, 29-Jun-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.admin.nntp)
