i'm seeing some archive group wierdness. all of the variables have
been at their defaults. how's this stuff supposed to work? prior to
0.39, i think archive stuff was going into Mail/misc-* files. some
Mail/archive/misc-* files were created when i first upgraded from 5.1
to sgnus 0.30 last month, but they weren't actually used more than
once or something. i never did figure that one out, but things seemed
to stabilize after a day or two. now they've changed again. the last
few things i've sent have gone into Mail/archive/misc-* files. so
what the heck is going on? how are these supposed to work?

The archive group should now work as advertised -- the archive folders
are placed in "~/Mail/archive/". If you had any old archive groups,
you should kill them and let Gnus re-create the new (proper) ones.
They now have names like "nnfolder+archive:misc-mail" (etc) to use
separate name spaces from normal nnfolder groups.

I started sending news and mail before I realized this was happening. As a
result, I have misc-mail and misc-news folders in both ~/Mail/ and
~/Mail/archive/. So, I figure I should be able to simply move the articles
from the one archive into the other:
Enter nnfolder:misc-mail
Mark all articles with #
B m to nnfolder+archive:misc-mail
However, this ends up stuffing the articles right back into Mail/misc-mail,
rather than into Mail/archive/misc-mail. It sounds like something is
broken to me.
I would like to say, however, that this (sgnus 0.39) is the first time that
I recall actually seeing messages show up in the archive groups, whether
they are in the old ones or the new ones. I was relieved to find an old
letter I sent which had some stunning prose.

The old archive groups are broken. You should just kill them off and
try to forget they have ever existed.
