Hmmm ... won't do that again I hope: Out of my dozens of auto-filtered email folders, there's one that collects everthing that isn't to any obvious recipient, which is sometimes spam, but just as often it mailing lists and other undisclosed-recipient mail.

Seems, somehow, I, er, deleted it, which in Gnus only means I don't see it, and out of sight, out of mind ... since September or so. May just asked for a message that I knew would be in the saved-messages list of that folder, went down to the bye to get me mail, and there she was, gone. er ... oops.

Trouble is, emails from mailing lists I moderate also end up in there, which probably has left a lot of people wondering ... Gnus, of course, has been dutifully spooling some 3000 messages in that box, so I guess I know what I'll be doing this evening.
