Lars,
Thanks for the note (I'm responding from my other email address). Yes,
I find this all a bit odd.
> Do you have (nnml "") in your secondary select methods?
My .gnus, with certain bits sanitized:
,----

I've also got some customization that may affect email, along with lots
of stuff I think is irrelevant. I've trimmed the irrelevant part of my
.emacs plus the nnmail-split-methods variable, as that's both long and
contains some people's names I should sanitize if you need to see it:
,----
| (custom-set-variables
| '(bbdb-complete-name-allow-cycling t)
| '(gnus-activate-level 3)
| '(mail-user-agent (quote gnus-user-agent))
| '(message-send-mail-function (quote message-smtpmail-send-it))
| '(message-send-mail-partially-limit 3000000)
| '(pgg-gpg-use-agent nil)
| '(pgg-passphrase-cache-expiry 240)
| '(read-mail-command (quote gnus))
| '(smtpmail-default-smtp-server "localhost")
| '(smtpmail-smtp-service portnumber)
`----
So there is no (nnml "") in your secondary select methods. I'm
surprised, but I just did a diff of my current .gnus with my latest
backup (done while email was still working), and they are the same.
That's not surprising; they both show the same modification date of a
bit over a month ago.
Hmm. There's a commented section in my .gnus:
,----
| ;; (add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods '(nnml ""))
| ;; (add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods
| ;; '(nnml ""
| ;; (nnmail-directory "c:/Mail/")
| ;; (nnmail-active-file "c:/Mail/active"))
`----
That's apparently left over from over a year ago when I was running Gnus
on Windows. I'm curious how anything is running without a replacement
for that.
I also found my *Server* buffer interesting:
,----
| {nnfolder:archive} (opened)
| {nntp:my.news.server.net} (opened) (agent)
`----
It's got lots of cruft that I elided (mostly old Windows nndoc and nndir
c:/ junk I never cleaned out, apparently, but also the currently unused
imap connection), but I don't see anything about nnml, and I thought I
might.
Is the likely answer to uncomment the commented stuff I showed near the
end but with ~/ instead of c:/?
If that's so, I wonder how in the world it ever worked. I guess I can
see that I launched it at some time and then left it open --- if my
.gnus was changed after that point, it might have never gotten read, and
so earlier definitions would have held. Still, I thought I probably
restarted Gnus sometime over the last month, and the last edit I recall
making to my .gnus was to change smtpmail-smtp-service to point to a new
port because my host changed to reduce hits on the standard port.
Bill
PS: If you see obvious improvements I might want to try in my setup,
feel free to pass along suggestions.
