From: Tom Tromey <tromey <at> redhat.com> To: 17686 <at> debbugs.gnu.org Subject: bug#17686: 24.3; fetching mail in gnus -vs- erc Date: Wed, 04 Jun 2014 08:45:52 -0600
I somewhat regularly experience an unfortunate interaction between gnus and erc. I use fetchmail to download mail to my machine. Then I tell gnus to pull this into nnmail groups. I also use ERC. If I have a lot of email (thousands of messages) pending, and then start ERC and only after that start gnus, then the ERC connection will time out while gnus processes the mail. This logs me out of the irc server. I don't see why this has to happen. Perhaps gnus and/or emacs could ensure that the ERC process gets called while importing the email.
