Development versions of Gnus set nnmail-delete-incoming to nil in order to preserve these files for the emergency case when Gnus munges mail. Go ahead and set it to t if you're brave... but don't blame Lars if you lose mail, you have been warned! (I set it to nil then delete old incoming files with dired every once in a while.) You can also stop using development versions and stick with the stable ones if you don't have enough disk space and/or don't want to fool around with your mail. kai -- The arms should be held in a natural and unaffected way and never be conspicuous. -- Revised Technique of Latin American Dancing
