Re: Gnus 5.10.1 and incoming mail

As a failsafe mechanism the development versions of Gnus make a

It looks like Lars overlooked this for the 5.10.1 release so anybody
using 5.10.1 who isn't aware of this setting is going to have a build
up of backup files in `gnus-directory'.
To stop the backups from being created just:
(setq mail-source-delete-incoming t)
On the other hand, it is probably a good idea to keep backups until
the stable release has matured a bit...
It would be interesting to hear from people upgrading from 5.8 to 5.10
(without going via oort). I wonder if everything Just Works, or if
something can be improved. Or maybe everyone is too afraid to
upgrade.:-)
