I don't really want to delete temp files if I'm not sure that I will never ever need them... :) Therefore, I'll delete them manually but without setting the variable, I think. If they are temp files, Gnus should delete them, though. Under which circumstances will they remain -- when I stop Gnus from doing its black magic using C-g?

Maybe, the expression 'temp' gives you the wrong impression. You could also say, they are backups of all incoming mail. Once upon a time there was a Gnus version fallen out of CVS which ate all my incoming mail for breakfast instead of displaying it. I was pretty lucky to have those Incoming files. Thus, I was able to refead the mail after the bug has been fixed. norbert. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

The variable is only meant as a safety measure for those running development versions. The variable should be t in all released versions. Your release, however, has a bug: the variable is nil. Gnus remains the temp files itself when the variable is t... kai -- Be indiscrete. Do it continuously. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread
