Subject: Something peculiar in my Topics setup
Date: Thu, 09 Jun 2022 21:57:55 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87o7z1biu4.fsf@local.lan> (raw)
First, I've been using topics in gnus for many years and have not seen
this before.
I have a topic: Watch
Under that topic a number of nnml:directories of certain groups.
One is nnml:all-but-cron_
That group gets copies of all but a select few groups incoming mail.
Sort of a fallback if I lose track of mail in one of the many many
nnml groups.
OK, it nearly always has unread messages.
So one would expect what ever number that is would show up in the
total shown at topic 'watch'. But what I see at topic watch is:
[ watch -- 0 ]...
No new messages whatsoever. Not only that but if I do C-u <ret>
telling topic watch to spill its groups, it pops out with:
[ watch -- 0 ]
[ banks -- 0 ]
0: nnml:Chase
0: nnml:CarringtonBank
0: nnml:BankOfAmerica
0: nnml:DSCC
0: nnml:DSCB
* 0: nnml:synchronyBankAlerts
* 0: nnml:Golden1
But if I press 'j' and give the groupname: nnml:all-but-cron_
Look what happens:
[ watch -- 0 ]
235: nnml:all-but-cron_
[ banks -- 0 ]
0: nnml:Chase
0: nnml:CarringtonBank
0: nnml:BankOfAmerica
0: nnml:DSCC
0: nnml:DSCB
* 0: nnml:synchronyBankAlerts
* 0: nnml:Golden1
It was there under watch all along... and with unread messages which
should have shown at `watch'
and C-u <RET> on watch should have dumped it into sight.
So the topic watch neither registers the unread messaages in
nnml:all-but-cron_
Nor displays nnml:all-but-cron_ when asked with C-u <RET> on `watch'.
futher there are others with unread messages under there too:
`J' nnml:inco <ret> and see what we get:
[ watch -- 0 ]
256: nnml:inco
235: nnml:all-but-cron_
[ banks -- 0 ]
0: nnml:Chase
0: nnml:CarringtonBank
0: nnml:BankOfAmerica
0: nnml:DSCC
0: nnml:DSCB
* 0: nnml:synchronyBankAlerts
* 0: nnml:Golden1
nnml:inco comes out from under `watch' also with unread messages.
This is all wrong wrong wrong... and I've never noticed something like
it to happen.
Can anyone offer a guess as to what is causing "topic modes'" misbehavior?
