Subject: bug#69517: [PATCH] Make gnus cache work with group names having '/'
Date: Sun, 03 Mar 2024 07:22:29 +0530

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Tags: patch

Reproduction steps:

- Setup Gnus with any group name having a slash ('/') such as
  "[Gmail]/Drafts" or an Atom feed (they usually have slashes) using the
  patch in bug#66188.

- Press '*' on a message in the group.

- Do (info "(gnus) Creating a Virtual Server")

- Open the above from the Server buffer; RET on the new group fails.

A patch is attached. I couldn't find the problematic commit or its
original branch (where it was a consolidated merge from) but
'gnus-use-long-file-names' is apparently not meant for backends: it
can't even be customized with that 'not-cache' option. I think this is
the right way to solve it: the other lines removed in this patch are
even older, but they were never being called due to the above reason.
