Re: Moving mail generates 'quit' signal

[Bob Newell <bobnewell@bobnewell.net>]

Aloha again,

Following up on my question: I spent (too) much time in
edebug, and note that in the function gnus-select-newsgroup
(in gnus-sum.el) there is this snippet:

    (cond
     ((null articles)
      ;;(gnus-message 3 "Couldn't select newsgroup -- no articles to display")
      'quit)

This is where my quit condition is being generated.

It seems that the code above is intended to be applicable in
calls that (at least at the outer level) are interactive. My
call is non-interactive, and the quit condition results in a
total abort all the way back to the highest calling level.

Now we won't argue whether the way I've coded my move mail
function is the best (it certainly is far from it, and I'd
welcome ideas on improvement). The issue is, should a quit be
generated as above, making non-interactive use problematic (at
least as I read things)?

Mahalo
