In-Reply-To: "Darren/Torin/Who Ever..."'s message of 23 May 1997 00:28:22 -0700 X-Mailer: Gnus v5.4.55/XEmacs 19.15 Original-Lines: 28 Original-Xref: altair.xemacs.org dgnus-list:1684 Xref: main.gmane.org gmane.emacs.gnus.general:11294 X-Report-Spam: http://spam.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.gnus.general:11294 i really wish gnus would grow the hooks needed to do clean external mail processing. i use procmail to deposit mail in my nnml directories because it's currently inconvenient to leave gnus running all the time and the inrush of mail in the morning (300-1000 messages) is far too slow on my little SS20. i've modified the external async mail filer (i can't recall the URL) and nnheader to do some common locking but neither emacs (in terms of kernel level support) or gnus (architecturally) seem interested in sharing access to objects like the active file and overview files. i think the only common problem is access to the overview database during ``B del'' but it seems to resolve itself properly. torin> I've got two questions: 1) How do I save articles so that they torin> appear in the .overview files? If I just use torin> gnus-summary-save-in-folder, it just uses rcvstore which won't torin> help. I want to use gnus+nnml to read folders I save to. 2) I torin> use mailagent to save *all* my mail to folders. I never use torin> nnmail-split and friends. (I know I'm not supposed to, but I'm torin> a big boy. (and can even program.)) Is expiration the only time torin> that Gnus will update the .overview (NOV) file? Is there a lock torin> I can have it check for in case mailagent is there right then? -- paul pjg@acsu.Buffalo.EDU |public keys at: | http://urth.acsu.Buffalo.EDU/~pjg/key.html if the above contains opinions they are mine unless marked otherwise.
