Well, I don't see why you would want to delete any files to begin with - just lots of extra work, it seems to me, for no obvious advantage (?). If there isn't any Gnus library or other software that will help you with this, you'll have to record the subjects and message IDs of the posts you send. As in: (defun save-sent-msg-data () ; save Message ID and Subject to a file ; (I don't know if the Message ID is available at ; this point - ?) ) (add-hook 'message-sent-hook 'save-sent-msg-data) Then, when you delete the unwanted messages, don't delete any that has a Subject that is listed in that file, or if any of your Message IDs is in the References header. Or, when you receive a post, do a corresponding check and, as you say, send it to a group. But this seems a bit sketchy so I recommend looking around if there isn't a time tested solution around... again, if you really feel you must delete the other files that is! -- underground experts united _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
