There's that, which doesn't have to be a bad thing, but also: if the mail doesn't show up anywhere, I perceive them as virtually deleted. If they are deleted they can still be retrieved, but that would be uncertain and require work. Better to know they are 100% "retrievable" and then still never do it, anyway. Many people form the Windows world want the Linux (etc.) systems to be "clean", "minimalist", and so on. This is a misconception, but I understand where it comes from. On a Windows computer there are one thousand things that runs in the so-called "background" that pops up all the time, and drains your computer of resources, and your mind of mindfulness. However, this isn't the same as having one thousand binaries in /usr/bin or ten thousand mails as textfiles in ~/Mail/mail/misc - and while removing those files will make your system less *powerful*, it won't get any more clean or minimalist. Just sayin' as an example, not applying to anyone in particular. -- underground experts united _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list info-gnus-english@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
