I believe it's not currently possible, but I really think it should be! The ".spool" requirement is rather aggravating for me as well. Plus, I would like the ability to have one group read from *multiple* spool files. Even RMAIL can do this (via M-x set-rmail-inbox-list)! Red Gnus feature request: Lars, would you consider adding support for a spool file *group parameter*, so we can specify whatever input spool files we want, in whatever directories we want, and however many spool files we want for a specific group? This group parameter should override any Gnus variable related to this issue. Thanks, Ed
