The ~/Mail/Incoming* files are copies of email that Gnus has imported - these are generated by development versions of Gnus as a safety feature in case email is lost due to a new bug: ,----[ C-h v mail-source-delete-incoming RET ] | mail-source-delete-incoming is a variable defined in `mail-source.el'. | Its value is 10 | | Documentation: | If non-nil, delete incoming files after handling. | If t, delete immediately, if nil, never delete. If a positive number, delete | files older than number of days. | | Removing of old files happens in `mail-source-callback', i.e. no | old incoming files will be deleted unless you receive new mail. | You may also set this variable to nil and call | `mail-source-delete-old-incoming' interactively. `---- (I don't think they are related to your task at hand.) > Sometimes gnus is really awful --- if I can't do this without creating > unremovable groups and great fuss, perhaps it's time to use a different > MUA.

Best of luck in finding something that works for you! Best regards, Adam -- "Where there's a will, there's a won't" Adam Sjøgren asjo@koldfront.dk
