Subject: Gnus+nnml dependent on active file?
Date: 14 Nov 1999 13:22:26 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <m3g0y9qn3x.fsf@boombastic.rgstudio.com.pl> (raw)
I was bitten by this several times: why does Gnus (or rather the nnml
backend in particular) depend so much on the ~/Mail/active file?
Whenever the filesystem fills up, Gnus is unable to save this file, so
it gets truncated to 0 length. Then, even though Gnus has all the
information in memory (or so I think), it won't try to write the file
again. One then has to recreate it painfully with
nnml-generate-nov-databases...
Doesn't the .newsrc.eld file contain all the necessary information?
If it doesn't, could we please have a function that would write out the
~/Mail/active from memory upon request? Is that possible at all?
--J.
