Who knows if switching over to procmail was productive in any way. This brings up the question, why does the FAQ say to insert the following in the startup file? : (setq gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnml "")) nnmail-spool-file 'procmail nnmail-procmail-directory "~/incoming/" nnmail-delete-incoming t ) Should the maintainer be contacted? Is the previous valid and I made a mistake? - Nick >>>>> "Nevin" == Nevin Kapur writes: >>>>> "NP" == Nick Papadonis writes: NP> Recently I set up procmail, and attempted to change the gnus NP> startup file to import my procmail directory.
