Re: Oort GNUS v0.01
Hi.
I just tried creating a group with `G m'.
Then I tried to delete it with `G DEL' and gnus says
group deletion isn't supported with my 'mail backend'.
Is this because I'm reading from procmail files? Shouldn't I have the
ability to create new groups, move messages in those groups, then
delete them?
Anyone use procmail and have this problem too?
I suck in my from procmail with the following in my ".gnus".
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; FOR PROCMAIL ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
(setq
gnus-secondary-select-methods
'((nnml "")) ; Incoming Mail
nnml-get-new-mail t
mail-sources
'((directory
:path "~/incoming/"
:suffix "")))
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; END PROCMAIL ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

What backend did you choose after the `G m'

No some backends don't support B del deletion... in that case use C-k

It was wierd, at first it just asked me for a group name, then from method.
I'm actually just confused. I'm basically trying to create a (maybe
nnml) group to archive/sort some messages. I thought `G m' was the
appropriate command. I guess not.

When it asks `From backend' you are supposed to type the name of the
backend you want. Since your secondary select is nnml then an nnml
backend would be a good choice. Although you could chose any of the
gnus backends.

Not sure what you mean by `archive/sort'. But you can create an
nnml group by giving `nnml' as backend when prompted for `From
backend'.
Another easy may is to copy a message to a group name of your choice
by pressing `B c' on a message and giving the name you chose, gnus
creates the group for you.

`G m' asks you for a group name and a server name (or is it backend?).
The nnml backend supports group deletion, but if you typed nntp, say,
then you can't delete groups.
I think you want to answer "nnml:" (with the colon, but without the
quotes) when it asks you for a backend/server/select method.
