Seen on both FreeBSD and Solaris. 1. New nnml groups are displayed with status "*" and I can't enter them. I use procmail to file incoming mail into groups, then gnus picks them up. It (usually) shows the new group and I create a new procmail recipe and get mail in a new file/folder. But with status "*" when I try to enter the group it says something to the effect of "no such group". A look at the gnus store, which I keep under ~/Mail/newgroupname/", show the mail files getting populated properly. I can get into the group eventually by `K'illing the group, then `j'umping to the group name that I type in (e.g., nnml:list.gnus) which causes it to show as status "K"illed. I can `U'nkill the group and finally enter. Ick. Is it a bug or do I need to set something to create the new groups as "S"ubscribed or something? 2. Leaves tmp files like ~/Mail/Incoming#####xyz Gnus since 5.8.6 or 5.8.7 CVS and now Release have been leaving what appears to be temporary files in the mail store area, which I have as ~/Mail/. The files are named "Incoming" + some number, (pid?) plus a few extra chars. These don't seem harmful, but become numerous quite quickly with a large amount of mail coming in. Seems like vestigial debugging code. It's seems to be happening in: nnmail.el:1633: (concat (file-name-as-directory temp) "Incoming"))) nnmail.el:1634: (concat (file-name-as-directory temp) "Incoming")))))
