Subject: Backend-specific nnmail-spool-file?
Date: 08 Dec 1998 09:42:23 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <lthfv6ae5s.fsf@asfast.com> (raw)
[ This is an auto-generated, courtesy copy of a message that I've
also posted to the gnu.emacs.gnus newsgroup. ]
I'm using pgnus-0.65 under XEmacs-21.2.beta4.
I would like to do my email splitting outside of Gnus and Emacs. This
would result in a group of mail spool files that I would need to check
from within Gnus. I want to use the `nnml' backend, and I want to
create a separate backend instance for each of these spool files.
Is it possible to specify a different `nnmail-spool-file' for each
backend instance? The Info documentation for pgnus-0.65 seems to
say otherwise:
Mail Backend Variables
----------------------
These variables are (for the most part) pertinent to all the various
mail backends.
[ ... ]
`nnmail-spool-file'
The backends will look for new mail in this file. If this
variable is `nil', the mail backends will never attempt to fetch
mail by themselves. [ ... ]
This seems to imply that I can only use one instance of the variable
`nnmail-spool-file' for any given Gnus session, but perhaps I'm mis-
interpreting what is being said here.
I also understand that `nnmail-spool-file' might also be a list, but
my understanding is that all the files in that list are searched for
email, irrespective of which email backend is being used. What I want
is for each `nnml' backend instance to look at a completely different
mail spool file.
Is this possible?
Thanks in advance.
