nnmail-split-methods is '(("mail.misc" "")). nnml:mail.misc is the
only group that's on level 1, all other nnml groups are level 2, and
nntp groups are level 3. nnml-spool-file is
'("/home/crew/grossjoh/spool/incoming/outgoing"
"/home/crew/grossjoh/spool/incoming/lists"
"/var/spool/mail/grossjoh").
I'm in the nnml:mail.misc summary buffer, and there is new mail in an
nnmail-spool-file. I hit M-g.
sgnus does not read any nnmail-spool-file and it does not put the
messages into nnml:mail.misc. Why not?
I'm in the *Group* buffer. I hit `1 g'. Still no joy: no mail is
being read from nnmail-spool-file.
I'm in the *Group* buffer with point on nnml:mail.misc. I hit M-g.
Still no joy :-(
Is this a feature or is it a bug? I know that I've asked for
something like this but that was different.
Old behavior:
Hitting M-g in an nnml group would read the procmail spool file for
that group, plus nnmail-spool-file. This was true for any
nnml group, not just nnml:mail.misc. Thus, hitting M-g in nnml:foo
would put all messages from nnmail-spool-file into nnml:foo.
This is okay if foo equals mail.misc but undesirable else.
New behavior:
Hitting M-g in an nnml group reads the procmail spool file and under
no circumstances reads nnmail-spool-file.
Desired behavior:
Hitting M-g in any nnml group *except* nnml:mail.misc reads the
procmail spool file and nothing else. Hitting M-g in nnml:mail.misc
reads the procmail spool file, plus nnmail-spool-file. Here,
messages from the procmail spool file are put into nnml:mail.misc;
but messages from nnmail-spool-file are put through the normal
splitting process, as always.
Maybe M-g should always read nnmail-spool-file (in addition to the
procmail spool file) and put the messages through the normal
splitting process, not only for nnml:mail.misc?
Did I express myself clearly enough, do you understand?
What do you all think?
