Subject: 0.79 nnmail-spool-file 'directory read error (patch included)
Date: 28 Feb 1999 16:44:55 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <tbn21ymvtk.fsf@blue.sea.net> (raw)



    Downloaded latest 0.79 and wondered why command

        my-gnus-group-get-new-news-this-group

    No more read the nnml procmail spool files. I chased it to the wrong 
    regexp definition in nnmail::mail-source-fetch. Since the files all have
    suffix ".spool"  the regexp never matches due to extra "$".

     (setq-default nnmail-spool-file
	    (list
	     (list 'file ':path  (getenv "MAIL"))
	     (list 'directory ':path  spool ':suffix ".spool")  ;; .prcml
	     ))

    The problem crystalized in mail-source-fetch-directory.

    jari

      (dolist (file (directory-files
		     path t (concat (regexp-quote suffix) "$")))

>> already filters .spool

	(d!! (file-name-nondirectory file) 
	     predicate
	     callback
	     "\n\n"
	     )
	(when (and (file-regular-p file)
		   (funcall predicate file)

>> but this will never accept file mail.default.spool

		   (mail-source-movemail file mail-source-crash-box))
	  (incf found (mail-source-callback callback file))))
      found)))
