How to hide Gnus email headers?

How to hide Gnus email headers?

[Richard Wellum]

Hi,

Using Gnus to view my mail, I am trying to avoid seeing the unnecessary
headers each time. I have the following line in my .gnus:

(setq gnus-visible-headers "^From:\\|^Subject:\\|^Cc:\\|^To:")

But doesn't seem to help - I still see everything.

Any ideas where I am going wrong?

Thanks...

Use gnus-ignored-headers to hide headers.

Try using a list of headers rather than a regexp that matches all.
In my .gnus file I have:

    ;; The headers that are shown for messages or news-articles.
    (setq gnus-visible-headers '("^From:" "^Date:" "^Subject:" "^To:" "^Cc:"
                                 "^Followup-To:" "^Reply-To:" "^Newsgroups:"))
    ;; The order of headers shown in article buffers.
    (setq gnus-sorted-header-list '("^Date:" "^From:" "^Reply-To:"
                                    "^Followup-To:" "^Subject:"
                                    "^To:" "^Cc:" "^Newsgroups:"))

and it works like a charm.

Why not just this?

(setq gnus-sorted-header-list '("^Date:" "^From:" "^Reply-To:"
                                "^Followup-To:" "^Subject:"
                                "^To:" "^Cc:" "^Newsgroups:"))
(setq gnus-visible-headers gnus-sorted-header-list)

No effect on my mail :-(.

BTW: If I select from the menu-bar, "treatment hide headers" - that gets
the effect I am looking for....

The following is what I'm setting up in my ~/.emacs file.

;;mail
(setq message-required-mail-headers
  '(From Date Subject X-Mailer User-Agent Message-ID Organization))

;;news
(setq message-required-news-headers
  '(From Date Newsgroups Subject X-Newsreader User-Agent Message-ID Xref Organization))

(setq gnus-visible-headers
       (list
       "To:"
       "Cc:"
       "Reply-To:"
       "From:"
       "Subject:"
       "Newsgroups:"
       "Followup-To:"
       "Date:"
       "Organization:"
       "Organisation:"
       "X-Mailer:"
       "X-Newsreader:"
       "User-Agent:"
))

(setq gnus-ignored-headers "^References:\\|^Xref:")

Ignore all by default and use gnus-visible-headers like you do ?

What happens when you type `t' while viewing a message?

Hm.  Please view a message and then switch to the *Article* buffer
and then repeat C-h v gnus-visible-headers RET -- perhaps the
value of this variable got b0rked somewhere along the way.

What happens when you type C-u g while viewing a message?  That
surely should produce *some* kind of change, especially if the
message in question is a mimey multipart thingy.
