Intro I upgraded orgmode recently and added org-contrib to my loading. I’m not sure if that’s related or not, but suddenly, when I invoke org-capture on a Gnus message (which used to happen seamlessly, suddenly I am getting the following selection message, asking me whether I want org-mairix-store-gnus-link or the old working default org-gnus-store-link . This is the first time I have ever heard of Mairix, and I can’t find any customizations to set to get it to stop asking me.

I always forget how to schedule my emails and it’s a pain to look up because Gnus uses the word “delay” instead of “schedule”, so here it is. Note that for gnus message scheduling (delaying) to work, you will need a line like this in your init file: (gnus-delay-initialize) In a message buffer with Gnus you can execute C-c C-j (gnus-delay-article) to schedule an item for a later sending. After that I see it scheduled in my nndraft:delayed folder with a “date” line describing the time at which it will be sent.

https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/e66ewg/make_gnus_sent_show_recipient_not_author/ I’m a GNUs user and am pretty happy with it. However, I have a “Sent” message group where the summary line is the same as everywhere else, meaning it includes the author (me!) and not the recipient. How can I change the summary line format in just the outgoing buffers (or, alternatively, if the author is me)? For reference, here’s my current insensitive line-format variable: (setq gnus-summary-line-format "%U%R%([%-30,30f]:%) %-50,40s(%&user-date;)\n") The winning solution?

I use GNUs for most of my email needs, but also have notmuch for rapid search of my inbox. Trouble is, when I choose a message in that notmuch search, it doesn’t open it with gnus but with its own message-mode spinoff called Message[Notmuch]. In GNUS I have an automatically added BCC address (my “sent-mail” inbox, which is downloaded across devices to sync what I’ve sent). How can I get the same automatic BCC added to anything I send in reply with Message[Notmuch]?

I use the Emacs package Gnus (included in Emacs) to manage my email, and have used it this way for years. There are many reasons for managing your email locally, and even more for managing them in Emacs, but it took me years to make it through the obstacle course of actually figuring out how to do it. It requireed learning many new concepts that our day of webmail and Exchange-programs generally glosses over.

After years of using Gnus for my mail I had some anomolous groups like “mail.sent” (later I had reworked this to archive.sent, but couldn’t get rid of mail.sent); I had tried deleting the folder on my hard drive, but this only resulted in errors with trying to enter the group from the group list, but still the group was shown (even with a number of unread messages). Turns out the answer is easy:
