Unusual archiving behavior.

Unusual archiving behavior.

[David Brown]

I have

  (setq gnus-default-archive-saver 'gnus-summary-save-in-mail)

and the nnfolder default copied out of the manual, as one of my
gnus-secondary-select-methods:

	(nnfolder "archive"
		  (nnfolder-directory "~/Mail/archive")
		  (nnfolder-active-file "~/Mail/archive/active")
		  (nnfolder-get-new-mail nil)
		  (nnfolder-inhibit-expiry t)))

And my gnus-message-archive-group is set to

  (setq gnus-message-archive-group
        '((concat "nnfolder+archive:" (format-time-string "%Y"))))

If I invoke a message from within Gnus, this seems to work, it adds the
message to ~/Mail/archive/2010 as I would expect.

However, if I compose a message from elsewhere in Emacs (C-x m), the
message is archived to ~/Mail/2010 and not under the archive folder.

Any ideas what might be happening here?  I'm running the Gnus that is
part of Emacs 23.2

Thanks,
David Brown

Yes, that's a Gnus archiving method.  If you're using the non-Gnus mail
stuff, Gnus won't be used for archiving.

It is putting a Gcc header in the message when I compose, and it is
getting archived somewhere, just not the same place as if I invoked it
from within Gnus.

But, more significantly, if I press (C-x m) while Gnus is running, the
message is archived in the correct place.  It's only if I compose email
after quitting Gnus that it gets archived somewhere else.  I'll dig
through the code some more, since it looks like something is not getting
set when composing before Gnus starts.

Where do you set your Gcc: ? In your .gnus.el, by any chance?
Maybe something like this could help:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(eval-after-load "message" '(require 'gnus))
(eval-after-load "message" '(load-file "~/.gnus.el"))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
