Note that Gnus might change the value of nnmail-use-long-file-names behind your back. This causes grief. The default value of nnmail-use-long-file-names depends on the OS in use -- I was quite surprised when moving between Solaris and GNU/Linux and FreeBSD that I couldn't continue to use my home dir... I suggest that Gnus look at startup whether filenames of the "wrong" format are in use. If so, barf. If only I had time to implement it... :-( Kai
