A message got into my junk group today which looked like (and actually was) a part of a normal mail message. The problem was (I think) that it was a message whose body had an empty line followed by a line starting with the word "From blah-blah-blah". Seems like gnus decided that it was the beginning of a new mail message, and screwed up things accordingly. Which got me thinking - how *does* gnus decide where is the start of the next mail message in an "IncomingXXX" file? I looked at the "IncomingXXX" files in my ~/Mail dir and did not see any dots by themselves or anything else. Does it by design looks just for empty lines followed by "^From"? Or am I missing something? In any case, the screwup in my case was real, and I can provide both the "IncomingXXX" and the parsed message files if needed. -- Cheers, -Dima.
