nnmail-fancy-expiry-target problems

Hello!

I'm trying to set up an archiving system for my mail.  I'm having some
problems with expiry, and am hoping you all can help.

I have a number of mailboxes on a local imap server that I connect to
with nnimap.  The manual suggests using nnfolder for archives, so I'd
like to set up mail from my nnimap server to expire to an nnfolder
server at ~/Mail_Archive.

Even though all read mails are marked as expired as soon as I finish
them, I've never seen any mail moved to ~/Mail_Archive.  Trying to
explicitly expire articles in a group with C-c C-x seems to apply the
expiry flag to every appropriate mail in the group, but nothing gets
moved anywhere.  The output in the message buffer is the following:

    Expiring articles in nnimap:mail.misc...
    Expiring articles in nnimap:mail.misc
    gnus-agent-expire: Loading overview... Done
    gnus-agent-expire: Sorting entries... Done
    gnus-agent-expire: Merging entries... Done
    Expiry recovered 7 NOV entries, deleted 0 files, and freed 2.184570 KB.

Finally, sometimes when I quit a group I get the following message:

    Expiring articles...
    nnmail-fancy-expiry-target: Wrong type argument: stringp, nil

I'm using GNU Emacs 22.1.1 and No Gnus v0.7.  I've included a sanitized
version of the relevant (I think) configuration options below.  Please
let me know if there is more information I can provide.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Please do `M-x set-variable RET debug-on-error RET t RET', reproduce
the bug and send the backtrace.

Bye, Reiner.

Reiner--

Thanks for the prompt reply.

I changed the name and email address that threw the error, but I
preserved case and formatting of the address.  If the letter-for-letter
original address is important, I'd rather send it to you personally than
post it to the list.

Thanks,

You may possibly be the first person who tried using `to-from'
and `nnmail-fancy-expiry-target' ever since it was introduced in
December, 2001.  IIUC, this is a bug that arises in the case
where `message-dont-reply-to-names' is nil, though it is likely
to default to nil in most Gnus users.  Could you try this patch?

Katsumi--

Thanks for the patch.  I no longer get the error when trying to exit a
group.  This is a great improvement over the previous situation.

I'm still having problems with expiry, but will detail those in a new
thread now that this bug seems to be resolved.

Thanks,
/au

Thanks for verifying the patch.  I've installed it in the Gnus
CVS repository (trunk + v5-10 branch).
