The most recent nnir.el (nnir-1.58) on Kai's ftp server seems to have
buggy code in the part that allows user to specify a target group.
But first, I hope this is not some malfeasance on this end. I've
tried to carefully make sure I've loaded a non-bytecompiled
nnir-1.58.el by evaluationg this line (with C-x C-e) in scratch buffer.
(load "nnir-1.58.el") Then comparing the results after doing the same
to:
(load "nnir-1.57.el")
Is there some better way to know for sure what version of nnir is
currently loaded and in use?
I first noticed the problem I'm about to report when (using glimpse as
search engine) I ran this query:
C-u G G
Query: reader@newsguy\.com <RET> zoot <RET>
(zoot is an nnml group containing the mailing list of a redhat linux
distribution)
ls ~/Mail/zoot/[0-9]* |wc -l
702
Not particularly large..
The query seemed to be dragging on much longer than I expected, so
began to watch the time it had been running. When it passed 6 minutes
I knew something was wrong, but thought it might be the escaped "."
Just as I was about to abort, gnus came through with the goods and
asked how many of the 12,600+ messages I wanted to view.
Huh? where did all those come from in a group of 700+
I told gnus to load them all, which took another couple minutes.
Finally I say what had happened is that the group spec had not been
honored.
There were messages from dozens of groups.
Tried the routine a few more times but the group spec is not honored.
