"B e" expiry bug in nnmh?

"B e" expiry bug in nnmh?

[James Leifer]

I just sent this bug report off. I'm copying it to ding in case anyone has
ideas.  Cheers, J

I believe I have found a bug with "B e" expiry from nnmh groups.

My relevant ~/.gnus settings are as follows:

  ; no auto expiry on exit of a group
  (remove-hook 'gnus-summary-prepare-exit-hook 'gnus-summary-expire-articles)

  ; read articles are not marked as expirable
  (remove-hook 'gnus-mark-article-hook
               'gnus-summary-mark-read-and-unread-as-read)
  (add-hook 'gnus-mark-article-hook 'gnus-summary-mark-unread-as-read)

Furthermore, my nnmh:inbox has the parameters:

  (expiry-wait . immediate) (expiry-target . "nnmh:spam")

Now, when I mark a couple of articles with E and then do B e, the articles all
become marked G but do not move to nnmh:spam.

Are you sure you were expiring from an nnmh group and not nnmaildir?
nnmaildir doesn't use the expiry-target parameter.  See the
description of "expire-group" at
<URL:http://multivac.cwru.edu./nnmaildir/using/#group-setup>.

I do have some nnmaildirs around for experimentation (hence the presence of the
above setq) but they were not involved in this problem.

The (expiry-target . "nnmh:spam") that I mentioned in the root of this thread
appears to have nothing to do with the problem.

If I create a test group

   ("nnml:t" 3 nil nil (nnmh "") ((display . all) (visible . t)  (expiry-wait . immediate)))

and mark some messages with E, then B e still does not delete them.

Ideas?
