This is great, unless you have some news groups (which you don't want to check) which are normally more important than some mail groups. What I do is "F" - gnus-find-new-newsgroups, which causes nnml to read my procmail-generated spool files in order to discover if there are any new groups (which, by the way, is a really neat thing - I don't have to manually create nnml groups, it automagically creates them), then "2 g" to update the article counts for the high-priority mail groups. I'm only guessing that this sequence would empty the mail spool if you are letting Gnus split your mail for you, though. -- #include /* Sten Drescher */ To get my PGP public key, send me email with your public key and Subject: PGP key exchange Key fingerprint = 90 5F 1D FD A6 7C 84 5E A9 D3 90 16 B2 44 C4 F3
