Hi all, This message is a kind of carry on to my message about searching. I wanted to try notmuch. Historically I use gnus just for email (all nnml). So my gnus-select-method is: (setq gnus-select-method '(nnml "")) Well, I also have: (setq gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nndiary ""))) but I haven't actually used nndairy in a while. My group display is: 0, 229: acmecorp 0, 7: acmecorp.engineering 38, 194: acmecorp.discuss etc. The setup instructions for nnir, suggested doing this: (setq gnus-select-method '(nnml "" (nnir-search-engine notmuch) )) When I restart gnus, I get all of my existing groups, but I also get these 2342, 0: nnml:acmecorp 222, 0: nnml:acmecorp.engineering 3332, 0: nnml:acmecorp.discuss I don't actually care about the nnml: prefix, but I'd like to have a single list and I'd like not to loose all my existing marks. Anyone have any idea why my change had the effect that it did? Or how to get it fixed?
