(Mail Source Customization, Gnus Development, Oort Gnus): Update for change of `mail-source-delete-incoming'.

80301:6bd4639256ce

@item mail-source-crash-box
@vindex mail-source-crash-box
File where mail will be stored while processing it.  The default is@*
@file{~/.emacs-mail-crash-box}.

@item mail-source-delete-incoming
@vindex mail-source-delete-incoming
If non-@code{nil}, delete incoming files after handling them.  If
@code{t}, delete the files immediately, if @code{nil}, never delete any
files.  If a positive number, delete files older than number of days
(This will only happen, when receiving new mail).  You may also set
@code{mail-source-delete-incoming} to @code{nil} and call
@code{mail-source-delete-old-incoming} from a hook or interactively.

@item mail-source-delete-old-incoming-confirm
@vindex mail-source-delete-old-incoming-confirm
If non-@code{nil}, ask for confirmation before deleting old incoming
files.  This variable only applies when

supposed to be able to use these, and these are mostly discussed on the
@samp{gnu.emacs.gnus} newsgroup.

@cindex Incoming*
@vindex mail-source-delete-incoming
Some variable defaults differ between alpha Gnusae and released Gnusae.
In particular, @code{mail-source-delete-incoming} defaults to @code{nil} in
alpha Gnusae and @code{t} in released Gnusae.  This is to prevent
lossage of mail if an alpha release hiccups while handling the mail.

The division of discussion between the ding mailing list and the Gnus
newsgroup is not purely based on publicity concerns.  It's true that
having people write about the horrible things that an alpha Gnus release
can do (sometimes) in a public forum may scare people off, but more

introduced, fiddled with, and judged to be found wanting, and then
either discarded or totally rewritten.  People reading the mailing list
usually keep up with these rapid changes, while people on the newsgroup
can't be assumed to do so.

variables should change those regexps accordingly.  For example:
@lisp
("^han\\>" euc-kr) -> ("\\(^\\|:\\)han\\>" euc-kr)
