I'm using Gnus 5.2.37, but my problem started while using a previous version (5.2.31, I think). In order to archive my messages, I use gnus-outgoing-message-group set to a function, and gnus-message-archive-group set to nil. The function used on gnus-outgoing-message-group puts sent messages on the group I were when sending it (for some of my mail groups) or else on groups like nnfolder+archive:{mail,news}.%YY-%MM (as suggested somewhere). This works pretty well... However, sometime ago, I decided to create some other groups on nnfolder+archive: to where I would B m some of the messages I read on other groups. I don't remember what I did exactly (it has been some weeks now that I messed it up), but Gnus started to complain that it couldn't find some files. It turned out to be that it was trying to access something like ~/Mail/mail/1996-07 (as if the group was an nnml file). After a while I decided to remove ~/Mail/archive/active (I don't remember why, but I had a good motive back then :-) and presently it only have one line 'mail.1996-07 7 1 y' (created by mail sending during this month). Moreover, when I (B)rowse the nnfolder+archive group it shows me all my nnml groups (it seems that nnfolder-active-file is ~/Mail/active). Is there anyway to regenarate my archive/active file (other than by hand) ? What's going on with the archive server ? Browsing gnus.el I see that on gnus-setup and some other functions Gnus is testing whether I'm using an archive server (gnus-archive-server-wanted-p), which I think is returning nil (according to my reading of the function, I didn't debug-on-entry it). Am I supposed to had "archive" to the secondary-methods ? (Actually I've done this already, and it didn't help, but my setup is pretty much messed up :-() Anyone has any suggestion ? -- Joao Cachopo * Homepage: http://www.gia.ist.utl.pt/~jcachopo *** Murphy was an optimist ***
