Subject: auto-compressing nnml articles and overview files
Date: Wed, 05 Nov 2003 10:22:40 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4n1xsmj0vz.fsf@koz.bwh.harvard.edu> (raw)

Due to disk space constraints I would like to automatically compress
nnml articles when they are saved to disk, and decompress them on the
way back.  Does Gnus (or Emacs, behind the scenes) support such a
thing?

Also, I have some large overview files in ~/News/overview,
e.g. "nnimap.mail.lifelogs.com.ding.1047497850.novcache".
Considering I don't use the Agent, do I need those overview files?
They seem to be caching the gnus-newsgroup-data.  Can I remove them
and regenerate them later, either automatically or manually?

Thanks
Ted
