I change to Gnus CVS yesterday when I use v5.11 before. I found it makes
some strange file in my mail folder. let me describe in detail:
I use fetchmail and procmail to drop new mail in ~/Mail/.incoming, then
I use the following setting to make Gnus read the new message:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq
mail-sources '((file :path "~/Mail/.incoming" :plugged t))
gnus-select-method '(nnml "mail" (nnml-directory "~/Mail")
(nnml-active-file "~/Mail/active")))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
and then they go though mail spliter. But when using new Gnus from cvs,
there are some file appeared in the ~/Mail folder like Incoming3416cdp
and so on. I saw that when I hit "g" in group buffer and the
~/Mail/.incoming file contains new mail, the Incomingxxxx file appeared,
which has the same text as ~/Mail/.incoming. Is it a new feature? How to
disable it? Thanks.

(info "(gnus)Mail Source Customization")
,----
| `mail-source-delete-incoming'
| If non-`nil', delete incoming files after handling them. If `t',
| delete the files immediately, if `nil', never delete any files.
| If a positive number, delete files older than number of days (This
| will only happen, when receiving new mail). You may also set
| `mail-source-delete-incoming' to `nil' and call
| `mail-source-delete-old-incoming' from a hook or interactively.
`----
(info "(gnus)Gnus Development")
,----
| Some variable defaults differ between alpha Gnusae and released
| Gnusae. In particular, `mail-source-delete-incoming' defaults to `nil'
| in alpha Gnusae and `t' in released Gnusae. This is to prevent lossage
| of mail if an alpha release hiccups while handling the mail.
`----
So, you can set it to t at your own risk.
Regards,
