Problems with message archiving and temporary files.

Problems with message archiving and temporary files.

[Andrew Telford]

OK.  I've read the manual, had a poke around looking at the elisp, but
I have two problems with sgnus-0.43/xemacs-19.13 on SGI Irix 5.3.

 1.  A ~/Mail/archive file is created automatically and is empty.  The Server
    buffer gives me:

	(nnfolder "archive"
		  (nnfolder-directory "~/Mail/archive/")
		  (nnfolder-active-file "~/Mail/archive/active")
		  (nnfolder-get-new-mail nil)
		  (nnfolder-inhibit-expiry t))

     for the archive server, but no outgoing messages are ever saved
     anywhere! The Gcc header of "nnfolder+archive:misc-mail" appears
     in each mail message. Should outgoing messages automatically
     appear in ~/Mail/archive/misc-mail?

 2.  File names like:

       ~/Mail/Incominga000I0
       ~/Mail/Incominga000Is
       ~/Mail/Incominga000JV
       ~/Mail/Incominga000NG

    are created, and not cleaned up, when incoming mail is sucked off
    the spool.

Any hints would be greatly appreciated.

My .gnus file looks like

	(setq gnus-check-new-newsgroups nil
	      gnus-read-active-file 'some
	      gnus-local-organization "BHP Research"	
	      gnus-user-from-line "Andrew Telford <ajt@resmel.bhp.com.au>"
	      gnus-select-method '(nntp "merlin"))
	
	(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
	      '((nnml "private")
		))
	
	(setq nnmail-split-methods
	      '(("mail.ctan-ann" "^Sender:.*ctan-ann")
		("mail.gnus" "^Cc:.*ding.*ifi\\|^To:.*ding.*ifi")
		("mail.receipt" "^Subject:.*Return.*receipt")
		("mail.people.self" "^From:.*ajt@resmel\\|From:.*Andrew.*Telford")
		("mail.misc" "")))

These are simply copies of your inbox in case sgnus kills your mail
somewhere along the line.  The variable you want is nnmail-delete-incoming
which is set nil in sgnus, since sgnus is in beta testing.  This variable
will be set non-nil for the release of Gnus 5.2 (or whatever the next
number is).

A *file* called "~/Mail/archive"?  That's not supposed to happen.
Did Gnus create it?  

If you delete it, things will probably start working.
