Recently I did some shit within Gnus: I deleted a lot (thousands) of mails, trying to respool them in another group and rename it to the first group after having deleted it (i.e. to prepend an old mailing-list group to the new one that changed name)… but well I got a backup but quite old… and since it’s mailing-lists I hope to get back some mails asking to other people subscribed to send them to me…
Waiting for that, what interest me now are recent mails: and I just noticed that I still have a lot of Incoming<code>
within my ~/mail
, and I think that could make a backup: do someone know how to “re-receive them”? aka exctract from these digests the mails of theses groups and respool them into them? I tried to open groups like nnmbox:Incoming<code>
but it doesn’t work (“No such group”).
So how to open/respool that? It should be easy it’s just a digest of a lot of MIME messages…
PS: I also tried to see what does functions like nnmail-split-incoming
but couldn’t figure out how to use it.
