Subject: EMACS22: Unexpected question when fetching mail in Gnus...
Date: Sat, 08 Mar 2008 00:55:16 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87pru6w0m3.fsf@kfs-lx.rd.rdm> (raw)
This is new on EMACS 22 branch:
All of a sudden (I upgraded from CVS), I'm asked a series of
questions when fetching my mail:
Remove file `Incoming25737PnQ'? (y or n)
Remove file `Incoming25737cxW'? (y or n)
Remove file `Incoming25737zsy'? (y or n)
Remove file `Incoming2592LnQ'? (y or n)
Remove file `Incoming2592VYm'? (y or n)
Remove file `Incoming2592YxW'? (y or n)
Remove file `Incoming2592xSE'? (y or n)
Not knowing whether it is safe to do so, I answer no - and
the list just keeps on growing...
This is due to the following change:
2008-02-16 Reiner Steib <Reiner.Steib@gmx.de>
* mail-source.el (mail-source-delete-incoming): Change default.
Supplement doc string.
Why was this change made? -- at least without changing the default for
mail-source-delete-old-incoming-confirm too.
At least it should have been documented in GNUS-NEWS.
