Subject: Simple lisp question
Date: Mon, 20 Dec 2010 10:52:35 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <m2aak0z8rw.fsf@verilab.com> (raw)
Quick lisp question as I dig into nnimap.el (in my attempt to understand
and maybe improve the fancy split stramash):
Why, in the defun of nnimap-split-incoming-mail, is this written as it is:
(let (
(nnimap-incoming-split-list nil)
...
new-articles
)
...)
And not like this:
(let (
nnimap-incoming-split-list
...
new-articles
)
...)
In other words, why is the setting to nil of nimap-incoming-split-list
and news-articles done differently? Just a coding quirk, or a deep and
mysterious reason?
thanks,
Tommy
