I'm losing mail.

I'm losing mail.

[Steve Youngs]

I noticed this somewhere between 0.16 and 0.17, sorry for not being
more specific, I didn't update my Gnus in that period.

What's happening is that if I post a followup to an article on a
mailing list I'm not seeing my post in Gnus when it comes back to me
from the list.

I work off a local spool (using fetchmail to retrieve from mail
server) and I can verify that these messages are getting into my mail
spool.  I (setq mail-source-delete-incoming 5) and these messages are
making it into the backup files.  The only place that I can't see them
is in Gnus. :-(

It seems to be only followups that I make.  If I initiate a new
thread, I see that post.  If I followup to an article further down the
thread, I don't see it.

Do you understand what I'm getting at?

Any ideas?

Weird.  It isn't duplicate suppression, is it?  See variable
nnmail-treat-duplicates.

Suppose your Incoming* file contains message A and then the followup
B from you.  Maybe the followup B is contained in message A?  That
would indicate a hosed mbox format.

Are they put into the mail group, but not shown to you, or deleted?

If the latter, do you have (setq nnmail-treat-duplicates 'delete) somewhere?

BTW, I've never had such a problem.

You haven't taken to scoring down your own followup messages?  :-)

In any case, `/ w' should say whether the problem is scoring-related.
