The dummy variable is there so you can do the call to local-set-key (see section 2.10 of the Gnus manual, under the entry for "(variable form)". > What does C-h v nnmail-expiry-target say on your setup? 'delete' - that is the default, and I override it with the group parameters for certain groups. The patches make sure that this works as expected. > Does this mean that (with your patch in place) I could say: > ((total-expire . t) > (expiry-wait . 14) > (expiry-target . "nnml:TARGET") > > In group params of a group and expirable stuff would show up in > nnml:TARGET in two weeks? That's what I would expect. I have the following setting for mailing lists (including this one): ((total-expire . t) (expiry-target . delete) (expiry-wait . 7)) ... and it works with the patch applied. -- -- Rod Whitby, Snr Staff Engr, Electronic Design Automation -- -- Motorola Australia Software Centre - Adelaide, Australia -- -- Phone: +61 8 8168 3526, Fax: +61 8 8168 3501, -- -- Baby Photos: --
