nnmaildir oddities!

[Josh Huber <huber@alum.wpi.edu>]

I'm setting up a new Gnus running on a new server, and have decided to
use the nnmaildir backend (at least for now).

The behavior I'm seeing is this:
1. B q shows that a message will be stored in a particular group, but
when respooling said message, it goes to the "sent-mail" folder!  This
seems very odd to me.

2. Messages saved to the sent-mail folder (which are actually sent
mail) are not marked as read, even though I have gnus-gcc-mark-as-read
set.

Any ideas?

Here is the (I think) relevant parts from my .gnus.el:

(setq gnus-select-method
      '(nnmaildir ""
		  (directory "~/mail-groups")
		  (create-directory "../maildirs")
		  (get-new-mail t)))

(setq mail-sources
      '((maildir :path "~/Maildir")))

(setq gnus-message-archive-group
      '((if (message-news-p)
	        "sent-news"
	    "sent-mail")))

(setq gnus-gcc-mark-as-read t)

;; use the cache for saving messages...
(setq gnus-use-cache t)

(add-hook 'gnus-group-mode-hook 'gnus-topic-mode)
(setq gnus-subscribe-options-newsgroup-method 'gnus-subscribe-topics)
(setq gnus-subscribe-newsgroup-method 'gnus-subscribe-topics)

(setq gnus-goto-next-group-when-activating nil)

(setq gnus-posting-styles
      '((".*"
	 ;; default
	 (address "huber@alum.wpi.edu")
	 (name "Josh Huber")
	 (signature-file "~/.signature"))))

;;*======================
;;* split methods.

;; first, turn on message id caching
(setq nnmail-treat-duplicates 'delete)

;; next, cache messages that are moved from folder to folder
;(setq nnmail-cache-accepted-message-ids t)

;; ignore messages ids saved to my outgoing folders
;(setq nnmail-cache-ignore-groups "\\`\\(sent-mail\\|sent-news\\|drafts\\)$")

;; increase the message id cache size
;(setq nnmail-message-id-cache-length 2500)

;; don't even fancy-split-with-parent into these groups
(setq nnmail-split-fancy-with-parent-ignore-groups
      '("\\`sent-mail$"
	"\\`sent-news$"
	"\\`drafts$"))

(setq nnmail-split-methods 'nnmail-split-fancy)
(setq nnmail-split-fancy
      '(|
	;; debian lists
	("Resent-Sender"
	  "debian-\\(\\w+\\)\\(-request\\)?@lists\\.debian\\.org"
	   "mail.lists.debian.\\1")
	(from
	  "debian-security-announce@lists\\.debian\\.org"
	   "mail.lists.debian.security")
	(to
	  "debian-devel-announce@lists\\.debian\\.org"
	   "mail.inbox.debian")

	;; vr6 mailing list
	("Delivered-To" "mailing list vr6@yahoogroups.com"
	  "mail.lists.vr6")

	;; TMDA users list
	("List-Id" "tmda-users"
	  "mail.lists.tmda")

	;; mclx alums
	("Sender" "mclx_alums-admin@spineless\\.org"
	  "mail.lists.mclx_alums")

	;; mitoc
	(to "\\(mitoc\\(-winter\\)?\\|climbers\\)@MIT.EDU"
	        "mail.lists.mitoc")

	;; personal debian mail
	(any "huber@debian\\.org" "mail.inbox.debian")

	"mail.inbox.main"))


Thanks for taking a look...
