nnfolder question

[Greg Thompson <gregt@visix.com>]

i've decided to bring all of my old vm mail files which i used to
archive messages into gnus as nnfolder groups so i can more easily
browse them, add messages to 'em, etc.  so i created a new nnfolder
server with the various variables pointing to the proper places and
such:

(nnfolder "saved"
	  (nnfolder-directory "/over/there")
	  (nnfolder-active-file "/over/there/active")
	  (nnfolder-newsgroups-file "/over/there/newsgroups")
	  (nnfolder-get-new-mail nil)
	  (nnfolder-inhibit-expiry t))

so then i copied over one of the mail files into the directory,
entered the server buffer, opened up the server via RET in the server
buffer, and did an nnfolder-generate-active-file.  unfortunately, it
failed (this is gnus 5.4.63).  the active file looked like this:

alfa 0 1 y
nil 36 0 y

where it should have looked like this:

alfa 36 1 y

so i fixed that by hand, and was able to subscribe to the group, enter
it, etc.  groovy.

now some questions: can i have groups in subdirectories to make a
heirarchy of saved mail files?  generate-active-file doesn't seem to
search down into 'em.  how to i make gnus add the group to the active
file and add the headers to the files if generate-active-file won't do
it for me?

uh, i thought i had another question, but i have no idea what it would
have been...
