Gnus relies on movemail to safely copy the inbox to a work file before deleting the inbox. One workaround is to use another program when trying to read from a local spool (the mv program in the unix95 archive seems to work; the MS-DOS MOVE.EXE does not). If you are doing this on a "live" filesystem, one that an SMTP daemon can write to, do not do this, you could loose mail. However, I have now discovered another problem with the ntemacs movemail: it converts the incoming mail file (from the POP3 server) to a Babyl file, which is a big pain in the behind since Gnus is not geared to parse a non-Unix (or MMDF) mail file. Is this the normal behavior for movemail? Is there any way to disable it (I can't find anything in the primary Emacs distribution sources that shows how)? Or is there a replacement for movemail that does not act so -- IMO -- brain-damaged? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3 Charset: noconv iQCVAwUBMbc4KZ6VRH7BJMxHAQGHnQP9ESkHIrexc7zyypuLMQgWZ9uWsEpzIMmu ILNfwenctSi27jeoZGbLSk2GwTjNe3oDcJBkwDiKI0BAgBERpRcCI7veYM8Zq8h7 +AipsRkvnYlOrBnVW88pTAeW9WpcwIRicKNgp0Tt36y6YhDBL5cytjwkjk3a6vGO IblXtjxartA= =YLG4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Richard Pieri/Information Services \ Variety is the spice of life: one day \ ignore people, the next day annoy http://www.dfci.harvard.edu/ \ them. -A cat's guide to life
