  Re: Setting the From: header in slrn
 
(...) Nope, it was changing my "From:" field that fixed the issue. Cheers, - jsproat (24 years ago, 10-Jul-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.admin.nntp)
 
  Re: Setting the From: header in slrn
 
(...) Wasn't planning to. :-, IIRC, the server would throw away a bogus Message-ID header, wouldn't it? Cheers, - jsproat (24 years ago, 10-Jul-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.admin.nntp)
 
  Re: Sig probs?
 
(...) It's possible that you may have done some testing last week which appeared to have worked but which didn't really work (that is, it shouldn't have appeared to work). The "Brief" mode had a bug in its collapser regex where it wasn't requiring (...) (24 years ago, 9-Jul-00, to lugnet.admin.nntp)
 
  Sig probs?
 
OK, well, I thought this was supposed to work after all the testing I did *last* week... (the "apple ignore berry" thread?) But nooooo... it seems that my fig refuses to disappear from the brief mode. Anyone know why? -Shiri -- I'll be on vacation (...) (24 years ago, 9-Jul-00, to lugnet.admin.nntp)
 
  Re: Coercing truncation in brief view on website (was: Re: test apple ignore berry)
 
(...) Two other reasons: 1. To make the brief message more meaningful and clean. 2. Because It Can Be Done. (...) Alrighty, then. Here goes. Grk. In IE5.0.2919.6307, ctl-L is a shortcut for Open. Which is kinda funny, because the menu shows the (...) (24 years ago, 30-Jun-00, to lugnet.off-topic.test, lugnet.admin.nntp)

(...) 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)

  Re: trying to change my email address
 
(...) That was indeed the problem, it is working now. I did't see the From header when I submitted, and had assumed it was generated by lugnet based on some other info(?), while in fact in my .emacs an instance of the old address had survived. Maybe (...) (24 years ago, 22-Jun-00, to lugnet.admin.nntp)
 
  Re: trying to change my email address

Hi! I'm trying to change my email address (the one that is reported in my news postings) from juergen@mpi-sb.mpg.de to stuber@loria.fr, but I'm having no luck.

  Re: Skip filter settings; something wrong
 
(...) Thanks! [...] (...) I think this is a good idea, but you should be careful of changing the labels on these. People might get confused if you suddenly proclaimed everyone as a member.... You might want to give "type 1" a different name, even if (...) (24 years ago, 20-Jun-00, to lugnet.admin.nntp)
 
  Re: Skip filter settings; something wrong
 
(...) Aha -- it's a real-cookie vs. virtual-cookie problem. The code handling the filter page was (correctly) looking at the virtual cookie in your member record but the code displaying the actual lists of articles was (incorrectly) still looking at (...)
