When there's an error in mail splitting, messages go to a `bogus', so mail is not lost (as I've learned while implementing these changes). Moreover, the changes are simple enough that I don't see much risk in adopting them. Anyway, I'm not the one to decide... I'd be glad to have *some* gnus version supporting this feature, even if not 5.8.0, so that I don't have to keep maintaining a modified file locally. But I've received enough positive feedback after posting this patch that I think it would be worth having it in the next stable release. This also indicates that I'm not the only one using it (but not that it's been widely tested). The only way to have it tested widely is to install it in some (alpha) release of gnus :-) -- Alexandre Oliva http://www.dcc.unicamp.br/~oliva IC-Unicamp, Bra[sz]il {oliva,Alexandre.Oliva}@dcc.unicamp.br aoliva@{acm.org,computer.org} oliva@{gnu.org,kaffe.org,{egcs,sourceware}.cygnus.com,samba.org} *** E-mail about software projects will be forwarded to mailing lists
