"B m" problem still exists in pgnus 0.98 :>

[Rob Browning]

I've had this problem for a *long* time, but we never have been able
to track it down.  Instructions on how to trigger it on my system are
reproduced below.  Let me know what other information you'd like me to
provide.  Before I do the followup, "B m" works fine.

  run emacs

  M-x gnus-no-server

  Compose a message to self and send.

  gnus-group-get-new-news

  Enter inbox

  Read new message (gets marked as expired automagically)

  gnus-summary-followup-with-original

  Compose and send followup

  Use "B m" to try and move that article to any other group.

Result is:

  Signaling: (file-error "Opening directory" "no such file or directory" "/home/rlb/.gnus/inbox/")
    directory-files("/home/rlb/.gnus/inbox/" nil "^\\([0-9]+\\)\\(\\.Z\\(~\\|\\.~[0-9]+~\\)?\\'\\|\\.bz2\\'\\|\\.tgz\\'\\|\\.gz\\(~\\|\\.~[0-9]+~\\)?\\'\\)?" t)
    apply(directory-files ("/home/rlb/.gnus/inbox/" nil "^\\([0-9]+\\)\\(\\.Z\\(~\\|\\.~[0-9]+~\\)?\\'\\|\\.bz2\\'\\|\\.tgz\\'\\|\\.gz\\(~\\|\\.~[0-9]+~\\)?\\'\\)?" t))
    nnheader-directory-files-safe("/home/rlb/.gnus/inbox/" nil "^\\([0-9]+\\)\\(\\.Z\\(~\\|\\.~[0-9]+~\\)?\\'\\|\\.bz2\\'\\|\\.tgz\\'\\|\\.gz\\(~\\|\\.~[0-9]+~\\)?\\'\\)?" t)
    nnheader-article-to-file-alist("/home/rlb/.gnus/inbox/")
    nnml-update-file-alist()
    nnml-request-move-article(35149 "inbox" "rlb+nnml+rlb:inbox" (gnus-request-accept-article "nnml+rlb:gnucash" (quote nil) t t) t)
    gnus-request-move-article(35149 "nnml+rlb:inbox" "rlb+nnml+rlb:inbox" (gnus-request-accept-article "nnml+rlb:gnucash" (quote nil) t t) t)
    gnus-summary-move-article(nil)
    call-interactively(gnus-summary-move-article)

Thanks

And this is the wrong directory?

Yes.  Sorry, I should have mentioned that.  The right directory is
/home/rlb/.gnus/mail/incoming/inbox, which it seems to use without
trouble most of the time.

Now that I've poked around some more.  It looks like I've got
something screwy going on in my initialization files.  I set
gnus-home-directory in one place, and gnus-directory in another, but
to two different values.  This seems wrong, but I thought I went
through and set all this up carefully at one point, so I'll have to
investigate to be sure its wrong.  My overall goal was just for *all*
of my gnus stuff to be in ~/.gnus, and I may very well have overdone
it.

Here are all the ~/.gnus related settings in my .emacs and .gnus files

  ;; excerpts from emacs.el
  (setq gnus-home-directory "~/.gnus")
  (setq gnus-directory      "~/.gnus/news")
  (setq gnus-init-file      "~/.gnus/gnus")
  (setq message-directory   "~/.gnus/")

  ;; excerpts from gnus.el
  (setq gnus-startup-file "~/.gnus/newsrc")
  (setq nndraft-directory "~/.gnus/drafts")
  (setq message-signature t)
  (setq message-signature-file "~/.gnus/signature")

  (setq gnus-secondary-select-methods 
        '((nnml "rlb" 
                (nnml-directory "~/.gnus/mail/incoming")
                (nnml-active-file "~/.gnus/mail/incoming/active"))))

  (setq gnus-message-archive-method
        '(nnml "outgoing" 
               (nnml-directory "~/.gnus/outgoing") 
               (nnml-active-file "~/.gnus/outgoing/active")
               (nnml-get-new-mail nil)
               (nnml-inhibit-expiry t)))

Thanks
