0.28 bug

[Norman Walsh]

Hi,

Emacs 19.34, NT, Gnus 0.28, plugged, (setq debug-on-error t)

Read messages in emacs.ding, an nnml group, type 'q' to return
to the group buffer:

Signaling: (wrong-type-argument stringp ("xml-dev" . 2367))
  nnmail-purge-split-history("nnml:emacs.ding")
  gnus-summary-exit()
  call-interactively(gnus-summary-exit)

FWIW, xml-dev is the next group with unread messages...

Same problem here. Hurricane is the first group with unread messages,
mail.misc (which I was in) is partway down the group list.

Signaling: (wrong-type-argument stringp ("hurricane" . 5643))
  nnmail-purge-split-history("nnml:mail.misc")
  gnus-summary-exit()
* call-interactively(gnus-summary-exit)

Split history?  Gee, I haven't been paying attention.

One of my dreams is to log message IDs in a split-and-move history,
then check this history using references (and in-reply-to?) to see
where new incoming message should go.  Just think of it.  You move a
few messages and the rest of the email thread (which you haven't
gotten yet) automatically follows.

So much code to write, so little time.

Me three.  I think it's a conspiracy on Lars' part to fill up his bug
report group again ... :-)

Making a slight change to nnmail-purge-split-history allows me to
quit a group, but I doubt this is the real fix.

It was a spectacularly successful ploy.

Yup; the list was a list of alists, not an alist.  Should work OK
again in 0.29.
