I am using yesterday's CVS. Today, for the heck of it, I decided to create a nnfolder group to store some e-mail with good ideas in it. So I did: B c And entered "nnfolder:ideas" as the group name and Gnus says it saved it off okay. What follows was screwy: - The Mail/ideas and Mail/ideas.nov file were created correctly, as was an entry in the Mail/active file: "ideas 1 1 y". - In addition, an empty file Mail/archive/ideas was created, as was a Mail/archive/ideas.mrk file. Mail/archive/active contains "ideas 0 1 y". - The following three entries are placed in gnus-newsrc-alist: ("ideas" 3 nil nil) ("nnfolder+archive:ideas" 3 nil nil (nnfolder "archive" (nnfolder-directory "~/g/Mail/archive") (nnfolder-active-file "~/g/Mail/archive/active") (nnfolder-get-new-mail nil) (nnfolder-inhibit-expiry t))) ("nnfolder:ideas" 3 nil nil "archive") When I exit and re-load Gnus, I get: Signaling: (file-error "Opening output file" "not a directory" "/home/matt/g/Mail/ideas/.marks") write-region(1 10 "/home/matt/g/Mail/ideas/.marks" nil 0) byte-code() nnml-save-marks("ideas" "") nnml-open-marks("ideas" "") nnml-request-update-info("ideas" ("ideas" 3 nil nil) "") gnus-get-unread-articles(nil) gnus-setup-news(nil nil nil) byte-code() gnus-1(nil nil nil) gnus() (if buffer (switch-to-buffer buffer) (gnus)) (let ((buffer ...)) (if buffer (switch-to-buffer buffer) (gnus))) my-goto-gnus() call-interactively(my-goto-gnus) In addition, the "ideas" folder doesn't show up with an nnfolder: prefix in the group list. Clearly, the fact that this is an nnfolder group and not an nnml group got lost at some point. Please let me know if I can help debug this any further! -- matt
