Now gnus showing is showing all it processed (lots of duplicates for each mail as unread mail) = for the last 2/3 days incoming mails. Is there any option in gnus to hunt down all the duplicates? And also I noticed that, =E2=95=AD=E2=94=80=E2=94=80=E2=94=80=E2=94=80=E2=94=80=E2=94=A4 C-h v gnus-= article-save-directory RET =E2=94=9C=E2=94=80=E2=94=80=E2=94=80=E2=94=80=E2= =94=80 =E2=94=82gnus-article-save-directory is a variable defined in `gnus.el'. =E2=94=82Its value is "~/News/" =E2=94=82Original value was "~/gnus/News" =E2=95=B0=E2=94=80=E2=94=80=E2=94=80=E2=94=80=E2=94=80 The variable initialized properly but some where it get updated (bad code?). In elisp, is it possible to get an echo of the location where a variable ge= ts updated (some kind of advise function)? Seems I going against the wind, I should better stick with default ~/News a= nd ~/Mail. Sorry for long and verbose mail(s).
