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? Regards, Lars Tobias Borsting gnus newbie
