And it keeps being reset to 'always. I set it in my .emacs after loading nnimap, I set it again after loading gnus because it seems to be set to 'always, and just now after reading for a while it spontaneously got set to 'always yet again. This is most frustrating as trying to expunge my inbox takes an extremely long time and since there's no expiry it's completely futile. (Yes, these facts may be related...) Why on earth does it keep getting reset? I can't find anything that would be responsible anywhere in the source. The only thing I suspect is the nnoo black magic. -- greg
