Archiving messages.. nnfolder?

Archiving messages.. nnfolder?

[Andy Eskilsson]

I use sgnus for all my mail management, and when I have mails I want
to save, I used to put them into nnfolders, this have stopped working
since log ago, and I have been bugreporting...

Any1 else using nnfolders, or what are the alternatives? I would like
to split the mails into different file so I can compress them, (quota
who me?)

What problems are you having, Andy?  I just stuck your message into an
nnfolder I have sitting around and it seemed to work just fine.  In fact, I
am replying from the nnfolder instead of the normal (nnbabyl) ding
newsgroup.

Well, I'm not andy, but I've had one annoying problem bite me a couple
of times since I switched to September.

Heres the sequence of events:
I'm in *Group* and my cursor is over one of my nnfolder groups.  I hit
'a' thinking that I'm going to post a new message.  But NO it decides to
make my nnfolder group an archive group.  This used to be the keystroke
to post right?

Now, being a kind of forgetful guy, I go off and post my message by
clicking on the post icon.

But, now I don't get any new messages apearing in my nnfolder group,
they get stored in ~/Mail/ding, for example, but new messages don't show
up as being new. until I rediscover the ~/Mail/archive directory, and
delete it and its contents.

Uhm.  `a' makes your nnfolder group into an archive group?  I don't
quite follow...

Anyways, `a' now defaults to posting to the current group.  So if you
really want to post a news article, you should stand on a news group,
or `C-k' the group name if you're using interactive post.

I don't understand this either.
