[I thought I had already sent this, but it's in my drafts folder and I don't
remember seeing it on the list.]
I have a serious problem, my .overview files have started disappearing.
I first got frightened when I saw lots of ``(new file)'' messages when
getting new mail. I'm now forced to run nnml-generate-overview-databases
several times per session.
I think this problem appeared somewhat recently -- I'm using 0.37 --
I don't think it was happening with 0.34.
I can't figure out what conditions cause the .overview files to get trashed.
(Possibly expiry? I'm using total-expire)
I'm wondering if anyone else sees this behaviour.

Whoo!

I've never seen that behavior. The only function that could delete
.overview files is `nnml-generate-nov-file'. I couldn't find any
other function that attempts to delete those files. So I have no idea
what's going on here.

hmm, the problem seems to have gone away, i think the only thing that changed
was my fixing a hook that was globally setting auto-save-visited-file-name to
T. Is it possible something is trying to clean up by removing any auto-save
files? I can't find any place in the code where such a thing might be
happening, but maybe you'll know what's going on.

No, I don't see why that should affect anything, really. Hmn. nnml
uses `find-file-noselect' to load the .overview files, and
`write-region' to save those files. Is that a bad idea?
