Re: save a copy of a message

[Gottfried]

Hi Adam,

thanks very much.

I am used to find my sent messages in the MUAs itself.
I was looking for this folder of sent emails in gnus,
but there it doesn´t appear.

So I checked my directory.
My sent messages appear in my home directory/Mail/archive/sent
which is still strange for me.
I am not used to that.

So what are you going to do if,
in using gnus you want to check quickly your sent message?


3.

In Thunderbird I have an other folder and can see immediately my sent emails.

I have configured mine to store news and mail in separate groups, once

per year, using nnml:

Does that mean after one year it separates your sent messages?
What happens than in the year?


Kind Regards

Gottfried

how can I save a copy of my message.
I would like a copy of messages I send.

By default Gnus saves a copy of outgoing messages in nnfolder:sent-YYY-MM.

You can configure gnus-message-archive-method to do something else.

I have configured mine to store news and mail in separate groups, once
per year, using nnml:

     (setq gnus-message-archive-method '(nnml "archive"
                                        (nnml-directory "~/Mail/archive")
                                        (nnml-active-file 
"~/Mail/archive/active")
                                        (nnml-get-new-mail nil)
                                        (gnus-search-engine gnus-search-notmuch)
                                        (nnml-inhibit-expiry t)))
     (setq gnus-message-archive-group
           '((if (message-news-p)
                 (concat "news-" (format-time-string "%Y"))
               (concat "mail-" (format-time-string "%Y")))))
