nnfolder needs the
Xref: misa.genom.com class-list:2108
X-Gnus-Article-Number: 2375   Mon Dec  8 16:43:38 1997
header lines in each mail in order to read them properly.
Then it needs to have the active file for each group to have the proper range,
(I tried several times to just specify the number of articles before I figured 
that out ^^; )

HTH,

Can't select nnfolder ? What does it mean

    Hi,

    I had old RMAIL file which I converted back to regular mailbox
    format with M-x unrmail. Next I tried to read it with Gnus
    nnfolder/group.mbx.

    Gnus tells me "Can't select group"

    What's the next thing to check, I killed the group and tried recreating
    it and the same happens. Couple of messages are included to the
    attachement. Is there a format problem somewhere?

An additional source of flamenco & related information is the med-dance
mailing list. It covers the various Mediterranean dance types,
including any of the folkloric dances from countries that, for the
most part have a coast on the Mediterranean Sea.  With that in mind,
med-dance would be an additional place to discuss flamenco as well as
other types of Spanish dance, as well as belly dance and the various
Middle Eastern folkloric dances, along with Greek dancing.

The mbox format seems OK, except for the "))" and ")" and "((".

Try using G f to create a doc group.  Does that work?  If you can read
it, create an empty nnmbox or nnfolder group and use B c to copy the
messages into the new empty group.

fwiw: a while ago when i was converting from using plain-jane mail
files for my mail archives to using nnfolder groups, i found that when
i used the nnfolder command to kickstart the folder with a file (don't
remember what it was now), it missed a whole lot of stuff (like
considered a few messages in a row to be the same message and such).
opening the file via nndoc, selecting all messages, and then copying
them all into the nnfolder group took a while, but did the trick.

Interesting. When I used G f to the same folder then Gnus could read it ok.
The mystery is why doesn't nnfolder backend read it?

Doesn't nnfolder insert additional info, such as a Gnus-Article-Number
header and the like?
