Re: gnus-summary-delete-article: The current newsgroup does not support article deletion

Sorry for not answering your other question Eric.

B Del gives me the same error ie in the subject.

I just realised that I might be missing the point of gnus.

I have moved across from vm and so I am used to having one giant inbox
file with assorted other files for senders say.

I have therefore tried to emulate this style by storing my inbox in
RMail format.

So suppose the file is called GnusMail.

I do a G f on the file to fire up a server and then mark messages as E
when I have read them.

I expected B e to directly delete emails from the GnusMail file itself.

But perhaps I have misunderstood how gnus works.

By the way, there is another annoying thing.

When I say o to try to move an email from GnusMail to another folder,
gnus insists on making the default contain a nndoc+ as part of the path.
But I am trying to store my emails in something like ~/MAIL rather than
~/Mail and the nndoc+ just gets in the way!

thanks,
raj
