Yes, I use Gnus to split my mail when I get it home. The problem is this: I copy the file from /usr/spool/mail/ to my home directory and take it home. At home I use nndoc to open the file, "M P b" to mark the messages and "B r" to re-spool with nnml as the backend. Not all the messages are re-spooled. I have just started to use SOUP. What I am doing is to read the file from /usr/spool/mail with nndoc. When I use "G s b" to brew soup not all the articles are taken. The duplicates are left. > > > Only one copy of messages with the same Message-ID will be displayed. > > > > But when I re-spool only one copy is re-spooled and I can never see both > > copies. > > Yes. I have had to re-spool mail groups to do change the way messages are filed and also to "pack" groups. As Gnus doesn't show all the messages in a group, how can I select them all so that they can be re-spooled? I have had cases where Gnus has re-spooled a incomplete file from an exmh folder and left the complete version of this message behind. It then refused to "see" or move this message. I only knew it was there because I used exmh to check. If Gnus will not "see" duplicate messages then surely everyone who moves or re-spools messages is loosing mail. -- Eze Ogwuma
