The active file and .overview files in all folders that are touched since the last time I run my splitting program is recreated from outside gnus. So if nnml changes some of these files it is no big deal. > This idea gests proposed reasonably frequently, but has never gained > widespread acceptance because of the potential for bad things > happening. That is true. The only problem I have had is that if you happen to move/remove your last file in a folder you will miss the next new new message in that folder. (setq nnmail-keep-last-article t) Helps somehow but not if I remove that file with mh from outside gnus. It would be nice to have nnml to change the last read message in a folder to the last message in the active file. I'll hack that someday. arne --Multipart_Thu_Jun_26_11:38:21_1997-1 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII ----------------------------------------------------------------- Arne Elofsson arne@bimbo.biokemi.su.se http://www.biokemi.su.se/~arne/ Tel:+46(0)8-161553 Dept of Biochemistry, Stockholm University Fax:+46(0)8-153679 10691 Stockholm, Sweden --Multipart_Thu_Jun_26_11:38:21_1997-1--
