Q: My setting is: ,---- | nnml-directory is a variable defined in `nnml.el'. | Its value is "~/.emacs.d/Mail/" | | Documentation: | Spool directory for the nnml mail backend. | | This is a Gnus server variable. See Info node `(gnus)Select Methods'. `---- Why is this a "spool" directory? The word "spool" is throwing me. I thought "spool" meant it was spooled to you and then stored in a backend .. like nnml. _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
