/etc/skel/.gnu-emacs is written by Werner Fink <werner@suse.de>. Reassign → Werner. The file ~/.gnu-emacs can be changed by the user. Not for SuSE Linux 10 comment change order of sort functions date and subject, add sort function number No, I don't think, that this bug/problem is resolved, if I resolv it on only my own computer (~/.gnu-eamcs*). Or have I misunderstood something? I want, that this bug should be resolved for SuSE Linux 10.1 (in /etc/skel/.gnu-emacs). I personally already know, how to configure MY emacs/gnus. This _is_ what I've done, /etc/skel/.gnu-emacs is part of the emacs package and I've fixed this for 10.1. |
SuSEs emacs-package comes with a default configuration file /etc/skel/.gnu-emacs which is called be /etc/skel/.emacs. The file is used for new users and can be changed by users. I noticed a problem with the thread sorting in Gnus (an emacs module). The sorting, which is defined in .gnu-emacs is curious: ... (setq gnus-thread-sort-functions '(gnus-thread-sort-by-date gnus-thread-sort-by-subject gnus-thread-sort-by-score)) ... It's hard to find current news threads with this configuration. Also this configuration is not documented with some useful comments in .gnu-emacs. Tt does not follow the recommendations in Gnus' info pages (especially missing `gnus-thread-sort-by-number'): ... If you use more than one function, the primary sort function should be the last. You should probably always include `gnus-thread-sort-by-number' in the list of sorting functions -- preferably first. ... There are some better examples in the gnus info pages.
