I want to add a new server parameter to nnfolder. (AFAIK in order to define a new server parameter you are supposed to simply define the variable with a defvoo in the backend .el file and you're all set?) Anyway, I do the following: 1) (defvoo nnfolder-foo nil "foo is my variable") ;;in nnfolder.el 2) rm nnfolder.elc 3) restart emacs, M-x gnus 4) '^' to enter the server buffer, where I see (as normal): {nnfolder:archive} (opened) {nntp:news.gnus.org} (opened) {nndraft:} (opened) {nnml:} (opened) {nntp:News.CIS.DFN.DE} (opened) 5) 'C' to close my nnfolder:archive server (since I have read that it's best to 'e' (edit, see next step) servers when they're closed) 6) 'e' to edit the nnfolder:archive server 7) In my editing session (BTW, I find it odd that it shows me the *Group* buffer in the other split-window when I am editing the Server Buffer, but that's beside the point here), I add the line (nnfolder-foo "bar") and C-c C-c to exit edits. 8) At this point I notice two lines in the Server buffer that say nnfolder:archive: {nnfolder:archive} (closed) <---I can 'e' this one {nntp:news.gnus.org} (opened) {nndraft:} (opened) {nnfolder:archive} (closed) <---I can't 'e' this one {nnml:} (opened) {nntp:News.CIS.DFN.DE} (opened) I can only re-edit one of these, as noted above . When I re-edit the one I can re-edit, I see the (nnfolder-foo "bar") sitting there as it should. But the extra server is puzzling. I hit 'q' to quit gnus. 9) When I M-x gnus again, I hit '^' and notice the following in the server buffer: {nnfolder:archive} (opened) {nntp:news.gnus.org} (opened) {nnfolder:archive+nnfolder+archive:saved-articles} (opened) (?) {nndraft:} (opened) {nnfolder:archive+nnfolder+archive:sent-news} (opened) (?) {nnfolder:archive+nnfolder+archive:sent-mail} (opened) (?) {nnfolder:archive+nnfolder+archive:sent-mail-old} (opened) (?) {nnml:} (opened) {nntp:News.CIS.DFN.DE} (opened) So, what happened? All the lines I marked with a (?) look odd. FYI, in my nnfolder:archive server, I have 4 groups, "saved-articles", "sent-news", "sent-mail", and "sent-mail-old". Somehow these became servers with funny names? Anyone know what is going on here? Did I do anything wrong? BTW, When I re-edit the top group in the list, and eliminate my new nnfolder-foo variable and restart gnus, the server buffer is back to normal. -- Benjamin
