Why does this default to true?  I know that I tend to only have two
summary buffers when I am running under X, and have multiple frames.

password.  I know that I could probably write a shell/perl script to
pop my mail, but I would prefer not to. (just thought of this fix now,
so I'm not sure about all of the problems with it)

I know that.  I was just wondering what they are for.  Gnus works
quite reliably for me on 19.29 after a bit of hacking (strip the 
'raw s (enabling compressed mail folders), add in the definition for
insert-file-contents-literally, and strip the # signs from the #' s in
the mail-header file)

GS> .cc ?

Lars posted something about the 'raw s being in there to deal with the
fact that emacs dumps one into cc mode if the folder name ends in .cc .
unless some other MTA/MUA needs the folder to end in .cc it seems the
most reasonable fix is `don't end your folder names in .cc' rather
than breaking compression support.

thank you,
