Followup and Reply

a

Compose a new article (gnus-Subject-post-news).

Type a (gnus-Subject-post-news) to post a new article. If the variable gnus-interactive-post is non-nil, the newsgroup, subject, and distribution are asked for interactively. The command f (gnus-Subject-post-reply) fills these values in automatically from those of the original article. Type C-c C-y (news-reply-yank-original) to include the original article. The command F (gnus-Subject-post-reply-with-original) yanks the original article automatically. If you want to followup to several articles in a single article and want to include them in it, type F for each of them. You will be asked if a text being edited should be erased. You should answer `n' to the question.

If the variable gnus-novice-user is non-nil, your confirmations will be required for composing a new article.

The major mode for composing a new article is News Mode which is borrowed from `rnewspost.el'. Type C-h m (describe-mode) to get more help on News Mode.

C

Cancel the current article you posted (gnus-Subject-cancel-article).

Suppose you post an article and then later realize that you made a horrible mistake. You really do not want anyone to see your article. You want the article to be removed from any machines that it may have reached. The command C (gnus-Subject-cancel-article) is intended to do this. First select the offending article as current, then type C.

r

Reply to the author of the current article (gnus-Subject-mail-reply).

R

Reply to the author of the current article with the original article (gnus-Subject-mail-reply-with-original).

m

Compose a mail message in other window (gnus-Subject-mail-other-window).

Use the command r (gnus-Subject-mail-reply) to reply to the author of the article. Type C-c C-y to include the original article. The command R (gnus-Subject-mail-reply-with-original) yanks the original article automatically.

Mail message composer is defaulted to use Mail Mode. If you want to use mh-e letter Mode instead of it, set the variable gnus-mail-reply-method to gnus-mail-reply-using-mhe and the variable gnus-mail-other-window-method to gnus-mail-other-window-using-mhe. It is possible to use other mailers by customizing these variables. See Info file `emacs', node `Mail Mode', for more information on Mail Mode.
