Yes, please. Recently the company mandated virus checker on my
machine has been deleting email as Gnus rights it disk. When Gnus
tries to chmod the non-existent file, it can't. I've had to delete
the mails from .emacs-mail-crash-box to read my mail, which is a huge
pain.[1]
Thanks,
Jon
Footnotes:
[1] But not enough pain to track down either the virus scan or the
Gnus issue yet. I'm not even sure if I have diagnosed the
problem correctly.
