Hi.  

I have HOURS trying to find a solution to this problem. I don't know if anyone can point me in the right direction. 

Recently I set up procmail, and attempted to change the gnus startup file to import my procmail directory.  I added the following:
(setq
 gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnml ""))
 nnmail-spool-file 'procmail
 nnmail-procmail-directory "~/incoming/"
 nnmail-delete-incoming t
)

My mailing lists are spooled into ~/incoming/ and have extensions like 'list.gnus.spool'.
I thought they would be imported to -> list.gnus, etc...

When starting gnus 5.8.8 I get the following error:
Wrong type argument: listp, procmail

I am using xemacs 21.1.12.

Any insight into this error appreciated.  I saw something in the list where nnmail-spool-file shouldn't be set to procmail, but wasn't sure if thats what I wanted.

Thanks.

- Nick
