They all seem so, like, unintegrated. I want mail I've sent to appear as a group automagically, wihtout me having to fiddle with all these variables and then having to do a `G m' to create a group manually. So I've added a few variables and a few functions. `gnus-message-archive-method' is a virtual server that stores all messages you've sent. It is native in a way -- it'll always be queried for new groups and new articles in the groups, so no fidding with it is necessary. `gnus-message-archive-group' is a variable that says what group on the archive server to say in. It can be a string, or a list of strings, or an alist of regexps, functions, and forms. (The usual.) It is '((if (eq major-mode 'news-reply-mode) "misc-news" "misc-mail)) by default, which means that articles are saved in "misc-news" and mail is saved in "misc-mail", which seems reasonable to me. All this is on by default, which means that new users will get archiving by default. The rest of us who use other archiving methods either have to turn this off, or turn the older archiving methods off. Or get double archiving. -- Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen * larsi@ifi.uio.no (a red leaf that falls from the purple tree)
