Subject: Documentation of gnus-check-new-newsgroups, select methods value
Date: Sat, 02 Jan 2016 12:34:13 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <871ta0z03u.fsf@tullinup.koldfront.dk> (raw)
The documentation of gnus-check-new-newsgroups does not mention that
_if_ you set the variable to a list of select methods, then the options
set on those select methods in gnus-secondary-select-methods will be
ignored.
Should it?
What lead me to discover this, is that I have had for a long time:
(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
'(
(nnml ""
(nnir-search-engine notmuch))
...
and recently I added:
(setq gnus-check-new-newsgroups '((nnml "")))
Which had the side effect of making nnir-searches on nnml: return no
results. (Which, by the way, is also misleading - shouldn't nnir say
"I was not configured to search anything", rather than "I didn't find
any results"?)
If I change gnus-check-new-newsgroups to '((nnml "" (nnir-search-engine
notmuch))) searching works again.
Which is nice, but it feels a little, uh, brittle?
Best regards,
Adam
