Gnus shouldn't have any record that it existed before, since there is no mention of the word archive in any of my gnus related files. >>> Edit your .gnus to make >>> gnus-message-archive-method nil;=20 >> >> I've got it set to (nnfolder ""). > > Hm.

(I do have lots of nnfolder and nnmail variables set globally, but (I think) I only have one mail server, so hopefully that's not a problem.) Dan
