mail-splitting issue

[Lars Tobias Borsting <larstobi@itea.ntnu.no>]

I recently set up mail-splitting for my mail. Before this, all mail
ended up in the mail.misc folder in my home directory. After setting up
mail-splitting I got all mail in it's rightful folder, but I stopped
getting mail in mail.misc. As I knew this was not right, I sent some
test mails to my inbox that I knew wouldn't be caught by any of the
filters, and it didn't make it to my gnus mail.

The reason is that mail-splitting disregards any mail that doesn't
trigger any of the filters. This is why it is necessary to have a
("mail.misc" "^To.*") filter as well. This rule has caused me to
actually loose quite a few mails that I would normally get in
mail.misc. And it has just vanished.

I guess what I'm trying to say, is that I think perhaps it shouldn't just go to
/dev/null by default, but end up in some kind of trash folder. For a
newbie gnus'er this is quite a catastrophy, if he doesn't know about
this.

Any thaughts on the subject?
