new mail all split in nndiary

new mail all split in nndiary

[Colin Walters]

Today I went to check my new mail, and for some reason all of it ended
up in my nndiary group.  I was able to process-mark it all (M P a),
then respooling (B r) seemed to work.

Fortunately (well, sort of), this wasn't reproducible.  I restarted
Gnus and Emacs, and all seemed well.

Does anyone know of any recent changes that might have caused this?
I'm running CVS as of early yesterday evening.

        The only important thing that changed in CVS is that the variable
nndiary-get-new-mail has been turned to nil by default. The only thing I can
think of is that you have it set to t, and you have a broken procmail rule or
so, that splited all your mail in the nndiary-mail-sources folder.

I do have `nndiary-get-new-mail' set to t.  But I haven't touched my
~/.procmailrc in quite a while, so I don't think there was a problem
with it.

Oh, well.  I guess we can just call this one a heisenbug.
