However, this causes some annoying effects. For example, when I compose a message and tell Gnus to send it (C-c C-c), if during the process of sending the message Gnus starts to check for new messages on the IMAP server, somehow things get stuck and the message is not sent. I often have to cancel the process with C-g, and hit C-c C-c again. It is also worth mentioning that if I am opening a large group (e.g., more than 2k messages) and Gnus starts to check for new messages, the same thing happens. The solution is also the same: C-g, and tell Gnus to open the group again. Is this a known bug, and is there a workaround for it? 2) I use more than one account on Gnus, so I have made dovecot put prefixes on the e-mail groups. For example, for account "A" I have "A/Sent", "A/Trash", etc, and the same applies for other accounts. Depending on the group that I am opening, I tell Gnus to set some parameters based on the group's prefix. So if I open a group from account "A", Gnus will know that when I send an e-mail to that group (or reply to a message there) it will store my sent message inside "A/Sent". Well, with that said, the problem is: whenever I change modes when composing a message, Gnus gets lost and doesn't store the sent message in the right group (in fact, I still don't know where/if it actually stores the message). Rationale: when composing a message that has a patch attached, I often change to `change-log-mode' in order to write the patch's ChangeLog, and then change back to `message-mode' in order to finish writing the message (and send it). Does anyone see this as well? Or does anyone have a better workflow to suggest? Thanks a lot in advance, -- Sergio
