feature proposal gnus-summary-respool-article in a specific group

[Uwe Brauer]

Hello

when using gnus-summary-respool-article specifying the backend (nnml)
and a server, the function drags the article always in the mail.misc
group. According  to doc string of that function it seems not possible to
specify a group.

Could that be implemented.

Thanks

That would be quite odd, I think.

'Respool' roughly means "run through the splitting rules, placing the
email where they say it should go".

What you want sounds like gnus-summary-move-article, bound to 'B m' in
the summary.

                     ^^^^
but where is where?  It will go to *every*  mail.misc group of *every*
nnml server. Now   if you want to  have  your mail from  a  pop3 to be
handled with the nnml backend, that mail  ends up in *every* mail.misc
of *every* nnml server. That is already *odd* enough. But if
additionally the respool function places spooled msg also in these
groups that even *cumbersome*.

Read Reiner Steibs reply concerning that.

(It has been ages since I used pop3, so I can't help with those
specifics).

Moving doesn't work for read-only groups, obviusly (a move deletes
from original place).

Your option for such groups is to use gnus-summary-copy-article bound
to 'B c'.

Oops you are right, I thought I tried that out as well. Now I suggest
then that some comments should be added to the section

 6.3.8 Incorporating Old Mail 

Of the gnus manual, from which I obtained my information.

Thanks
