reading slrnpull'd / nntp datastore
I use slrnpull to fetch several mailing list archives from gmane. The directories contain a bunch of loose files, not organized like a Maildir. But using mutt 1.5.18, I could just open the resulting folders in mutt and everything showed up like it was a mailbox. However, since I switched to mutt 1.5.20, now the folders open up empty. Reverting back to mutt 1.5.18 shows all the articles are still there and visible to the older mutt. I assumed I had left out some compile switch when upgrading, or the compile-time defaults had changed. However, mutt -v on my new and old versions of mutt give the same list of compile-time switches. Also, my distro's packaged version of mutt 1.5.20 (distro is Arch Linux) can't see the slrnpull'd files either. Anyone have ideas how I can get the earlier behavior with the current mutt? -- Jim Pryor j...@jimpryor.net
What is Spam
Since this is my first post I just wanted to ask what is considered spam on this mailing list. I did a google search but found nothing. Just wanted to know? I had used mutt a long time ago and just recently wanted to give it a try again.

The definition of spam is like the definition of a weed: in many cases, it's a matter of the right plant in the wrong place. But poison ivy has a lot in common with email from Nigerian princes asking for help moving money out of their country. They're both annoying as h*** and can cause a lot of pain. Anything unrelated to mutt (or perhaps email in general) might be considered spam by some of the readers of this mailing list. By that strict criterion, this entire thread is nothing but spam -- and I've done nothing to change that.
