Variable: mh-junk-background

mh-junk-background is a customizable variable defined in mh-e.el.gz.

Value

nil

Documentation

If on, spam programs are run in background.

By default, the programs are run in the foreground, but this can be slow when junking large numbers of messages. If you have enough memory or don't junk that many messages at the same time, you might try turning on this option.

Note that this option is used as the "destination" argument in the call to call-process. Therefore, turning on this option means setting its value to "0". You can also set its value to t to direct the programs' output to the "*MH-E Log*" buffer; this may be useful for debugging.

This variable was added, or its default value changed, in MH-E version
8.0.
