| | Hm, the function in gnus-move-group-prefix-function does the job of
| | inserting the part to complete. Here, if I want to move an article in
| | nnmaildir+Fastmail:INBOX.foo, it will use "nnmaildir+Fastmail:" as
| | default, which is nearly what you want (the mail/ is missing).
| |
| | Do you have several nnimap servers, one unnamed, and want to move an
| | article from a group of the unnamed server? That would explain the
| | behaviour you see.
|
| As far as I know, I have only one:
|
| (setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
| '((nnml "")
| (nnimap "imap.uib.no"
| (nnimap-stream ssl)
| (nnimap-list-pattern ("INBOX" "mail/*"))
| )))
|
| However, I may have screwed up something earlier that leaves traces
| somewhere.
Update: I threw .newsrc.eld out for a moment, and then the prompt in
question suddenly reads "nnimap+imap.uib.no:", a large improvement.
So there is something in the old history. I might as well start over,
not that hard, it seems.
