Subject: unused ~/News and ~/Mail get recreated
Date: Tue, 09 Sep 2014 16:15:29 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87tx4glw1q.fsf@grothesque.org> (raw)
Hello,
In ~/.emacs I set the variable gnus-directory to "~/.news". I do not
use nnml, only nntp and nnimap. The strings "News" and "Mail" do not
appear anywhere in ~/.emacs, ~/.gnus, or ~/.newsrc.eld. Sill, Gnus
keeps recreating the ~/News and ~/Mail directories:
$ find News Mail
News
News/drafts
News/drafts/drafts
News/drafts/queue
Mail
Mail/drafts
~/Mail appears when I start to compose a new message and press C-x C-s
to save the draft. The draft is saved in the proper directory
(~/.news/drafts/drafts/), but ~/Mail is nevertheless created. I did not
manage to observe when ~/News gets created.
This seems to be a bug in Gnus. I tried grepping the Gnus source code
for News and Mail, but couldn't find where the problems could sit.
Any suggestions?
Christoph
