for a couple years now, i've been saving all my outgoing mail (using
default archiving method) and incoming mail (using nnfolder and a procmail
rule). yesterday i had the bright idea (why it took me so long i have no
idea) to save both incoming and outgoing mail in the same nnfolder. this
seems to be working rather nicely, except that i seem to randomly lose
incoming messages. i cannot seem to repeat it no matter what i try.
so, i guess i have two questions:
1) has anyone else seen behavior like this (pgnus v.33)?
b) am i a moron for archiving this way? is there a better way archive
incoming/outgoing messags, other than using a bcc back to myself
instead of a gcc?
thanks.

Is procmail writing the files that Gnus is reading? I.e. if
~/Mail/foo is the file for nnfolder:foo, does procmail write to that
very same file?
Don't do that!
Read up about nnmail-use-procmail and nnmail-procmail-directory and
nnmail-procmail-suffix instead.
