A Bug (But don't fix it yet...)

A Bug (But don't fix it yet...)

[Yair Friedman (Jerusalem)]

nnimap 0.131 , Pterodactyl Gnus v0.99, NT Emacs 20.4.1

I have several nnimap and nnml group with same name.  nnimap split new
mail into nnimap groups and then I manually move mail to the appropriate
nnml group.

After receiving nwe mail and splitting, *both* nnimap and nnml groups
are marked as having new mail (%m mark), even before I more it from
nnimap to nnml.

I don't want this bug to be fixed until nnimap would be able to split
into other backedns.

This is because `nnmail-split-history' only contain un-prefixed group
names.

The same problem exist when having similarly named groups in different
nnmail backends too.

Ok. :-)

It won't be able to do that in a while though, I think. Perhaps a
backend independent splitter could be a 'todo' for the next alpha gnus
series...
