nnml leaves Incoming droppings

nnml leaves Incoming droppings

[Michael Sperber [Mr. Preprocessor]]

Subject says almost all:  nnml creates copies of the spool files in my
mail directory, but apparently never removes them.  Sorry I can't
spare the time to track this down right now.

This is September 0.60, XEmacs 19.14b14.

Cheers =8-} Mike

RTFM:

Mea culpa.  Sorry.

I didn't expect to be able to configure ding to do this.

This should, however, be t by default---at least in a stable release
which I'm supposed to trust to not throw my mail away on the way from
the spool file to nnml.

This from someone running a Beta version of Xemacs 19.14? September
Gnus is clearly marked as being beta code, not to be used on vital
mail etc, etc. I think you have no grounds for complaint on that
score.
