Emacs and gnus were running at that time. i exited `mail' with `x' (leaving the spool file as is). then, after some time, i've ran `mail' again, and --- surprize --- it showed that my spool file is empty! i did not use gnus between running `mail'. i then pressed `g' in gnus, having last hope that my mail was not lost, but gnus did not show any new mail! before giving up, i've scanned recursively files in my homedir for the subject of one of mails (which i could still see in the xterm window after running `mail'). and... i found new mails in the ~/Mail/mail/ directory and it's subdirectories (e.g. my private mail was in ~/Mail/mail/misc/). So, gnus somehow without my ask, silently received my mail into nnml backend. I'm not even `subscribed' to those nnml groups (i read nnmbox ones, as i said), so this is very confusing. The same thing with mail `disappearing' happened some days ago, and i found those mails in ~/Mail/mail/, too. Does anyone have an idea of what's going on? Why does gnus scan my spool file without a `g' command (gnus-group-get-new-news), and why does it ignore splitting rules that say to use nnmbox backend?
