noob, gnus link opens new frame

noob, gnus link opens new frame

[Gijs Hillenius]

Hello,

Gijs, Netherlands, new to Org.


I'm seriously trying out org-mode, and am currently using version
4.67c. (I should upgrade)

One initial question:

If I'm working on a "task-page.org" and click on a link to a gnus
email message at one of the todo's, this will open a new
screen/frame/window, start gnus and display the intended email.


But gnus is already active in another buffer ... 

Where/Is there a setting that will make it to just go to the gnus
buffer and open the email message there? So not open a new
screen/frame/window?

Thx

Gijs




And, btw, here is an interesting feature / bug that might interest
others:

My default emacs begins like this:

emacs-snapshot-gtk -font "-bitstream-bitstream vera sans mono-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-*-*"

If click on a gnus email link in any.org page, there will be the new
screen/frame/window, gnus will try to open, but the cpu will start to
race and I never get to see the message. I'm not that patient, so I
killed the emacs processes after a minute or so.. 

Getting rid of the -ooh-pretty-font also gets rid of the cpu
race... there's a connection...

The function that is called when a gnus link is being followed is
defined in the variable org-link-frame-setup.  The default is
gnus-other-frame, by I am sure there is another function that
might do what you want.  Does any of the GNUS gurus here on the list
know this?  Leo, Bastien?

You can just set it to 'gnus'...

so:

(setq org-link-frame-setup 
      (quote 
         ((vm . vm-visit-folder-other-frame) 
          (gnus . gnus) 
          (file . find-file-other-window))))

I can't find something already in Gnus that does gnus-other-frame
without a new frame. But it looks easy to write one.
