Original-Lines: 34 X-Mailer: Gnus v5.2.25/XEmacs 19.14 Xref: main.gmane.org gmane.emacs.gnus.general:7506 X-Report-Spam: http://spam.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.gnus.general:7506 I am constantly getting mail that I consider garbage, but my management thinks is necessary. I want to delete it automatically. Currently, I get at it with nnmail-split-methods and dump it all in a "garbage" group that has an expiration time of -1. I then add a function to `nnmail-post-get-new-mail-hook' that does a catchup and expire on my garbage group. My problem is that now I am getting a deluge of these messages. Over 500 were waiting for me this morning, and I imagine I will receive over a thousand more by noon. Since I am using nnml, each time I `g'et new news, I have a hundred little messages that say: > Wrote /local/craffert/Mail/mail/garbage/2516 > Wrote /local/craffert/Mail/mail/garbage/2517 > Wrote /local/craffert/Mail/mail/garbage/2518 followed by a hundred more that say: > Deleting article /local/craffert/Mail/mail/garbage/2516 in mail.garbage... > Deleting article /local/craffert/Mail/mail/garbage/2517 in mail.garbage... > Deleting article /local/craffert/Mail/mail/garbage/2518 in mail.garbage... This takes too long (even on my local disk). Does anyone know a way to trash these messages directly? Would I have a faster time if I used an nnfolder on that group? Could someone help me? -- Colin
