As an example: If you have nnml groups nnml:pgp and nnml:alt.security.pgp and long filenames. Gnus will erroneously take messages alt.security.pgp.spool and put them in nnml:pgp. This is a bug. The only way to get messages from alt.security.pgp.spool to go into nnml:alt.security.pgp.spool is to M-g on the group name. Basically whenever you have a procmail spool file named some.miscellaneous.group.name.spool, and nnml group nnml:some.miscellaneous.group.name.spool, then collected mail from the spool file should go into the exact name match rather than to nnml:name, or some such. -- steve@miranova.com baur Unsolicited commercial e-mail will be proofread for $250/hour.
