At least now I know that my posts are getting through :-) I was hoping that I would get a "yep, we're happy with that patch and will apply it to the next version" response, but I now notice that Lars is now responding to a backlog of mail. Is Lars the only CVS committer, or is there a group (like for XEmacs patch reviewers) ? Is ding@gnus.org the best place to post patches. Is there are specific subject header required ? > In this case patch tells me it sees only garbage in the patch. > Probably something I'm doing wrong. I'm probably not formatting the patch properly so that it can be automatically applied. Hopefully, someone can show me the best way to submit patches. I don't have CVS access (firewall issue), so I work from RCS'd snapshots. > Secondly in your several posts on this, including patches, you have > steadfastly refused to supply an example of how this works or what it > looks like.

I didn't realise I was being asked, so I didn't realise I was steadfastly refusing :-) In my group parameters for my nnml:INBOX folder, I have: ((expiry-wait . immediate) (expiry-target . "nnml:DELETED") (dummy (progn (local-set-key "d" 'gnus-summary-put-mark-as-expirable-next) nil))) So the 'd' (for delete) key marks the message as expirable, and the messages are expired as soon as I leave the group (the immediate value for expiry-wait). You don't need that if you're happy with the 'E' binding for expiry or can retrain your fingers after they used VM for a number of years. Now "expired" means "moved to the nnml:DELETED folder" for this group. This is analogous to the "Trash" folder in Netscape. In my group parameters for my nnml:DELETED folder, I have: ((expiry-wait . 31) (expiry-target . delete)) So I keep deleted mail for a month, and then it goes into the big bit bucket in the sky. Just like the "Empty Trash" in Netscape, except it happens automatically (and incrementally instead of all-at-once).
