Everything I've read says that nnml is the fastest backend for Gnus since it is the most like an actual news server. My setup consists of: fetchmail -> procmail -> Inbox.spool When I try to start Gnus I get an error: Error, unknown mail format! (Possibly corrupted buffer ` *nnmail incoming*'.) I then get stuck w/ an ~/.emacs-mail-crash-box, but whatever I do I can't actually view the messages. I ran the file command on the spool and got the following back: Work.spool: ASCII mail text Here's the contents of my procmailrc and .gnus .procmailrc MAILDIR=$HOME/Mail DEFAULT=Work/Inbox/ # Catchall to the inbox :0: /home/user/.incoming/Work.spool .gnus (setq gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnml "")) mail-sources '((directory :path "~/.incoming/" :suffix ".spool")) mail-source-delete-incoming t ) Thanks in advance for any advice. -- Kyle Sexton
