Files ~/Mail/IncomingXXXX, and need some general explanations ...

[François Fleuret]

Dear all,

Everytime I spool mails (localy, from a file written down by
fetchmail), each one creates a file of the form ~/Mail/IncomingXXXXXX

How to prevent that ?

Cheers,

Ahem ... forget it.

Looked for 1h, did not find the answer, posted my question, and found
the answer 2min later in mail-source.el.

Next time, try `Info-index'[1] and `Info-index-next'[2] in Gnus
manual:

`i Incoming RET ,' and also the next `,' are the relevant matches:

(info "(gnus)Gnus Development")
(info "(gnus)Mail Source Customization")

If there is no index entry for your keyword, please suggest to add it.

Bye, Reiner.
