Since I am using nnml, each time I `g'et new news, I have a hundred little messages that say: =20 > Wrote /local/craffert/Mail/mail/garbage/2516 > Wrote /local/craffert/Mail/mail/garbage/2517 > Wrote /local/craffert/Mail/mail/garbage/2518 =20 followed by a hundred more that say: =20 > Deleting article /local/craffert/Mail/mail/garbage/2516 in mail.garb= age... > Deleting article /local/craffert/Mail/mail/garbage/2517 in mail.garb= age... > Deleting article /local/craffert/Mail/mail/garbage/2518 in mail.garb= age... =20 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? If I had your problem, I would surely have procmail dumping these message= s even before Gnus sees them. My setup here is: UUCP ---> sendmail ---> procmail ---> Gnus, and it is very convenient for me. Having sendmail calling procmail directly reduces the overhead, and eases its usage site-wide. I'm not asking procmail to split my own mail spool on the local machine, as Gnus can do it conveniently, and also because things are more simple when Gnus gets all its spool from a single place. However, procmail is very good for many off-line duties, like the redirection of mail between sites, including the /dev/null one! ;-) --=20 Fran=E7ois Pinard ``Vivement GNU!'' pinard@iro.umontreal.c= a Support Programming Freedom, join our League!
