I suggest the Rmail Output node in the manual mention the
rmail-automatic-folder-directives variable as well as
rmail-output-file-alist.

(Sorry if already done in pretest, I just looked at 23.3.)

Thanks,
k

The latter is already documented, has been for years, in that very
node.  Is it possible that you look at some very old Info manual?

As for the rmail-automatic-folder-directives, to document it in the
manual, we need first to describe the "folders" notion.  It is
currently completely omitted from the manual.

And btw, I think this is completely unrelated to rmail-out.

    The latter is already documented, has been for years, in that very
    node.  Is it possible that you look at some very old Info manual?

Anything's possible, but what is actually true :) in this case is that
my use of "as well as" was evidently ambiguous.  What I meant was "in
addition to".  (But I agree with you that that is likely not the right
node, after realizing better what rmail...directives does.  Not that
that reduces the need for documentation.)

I had no idea that "folders" were anything but normal mbox files.
Are they something something else?  Looking at rmail.el, that seems to
be what is happening as a result of rmail...directives.  I mean, it
ultimately just calls rmail-output.

Anyway, whatever, it was just a small suggestion.
