So do I. I guess there are quite a few other users that use gnus for that in a way or the other. It would be interesting to hear what usage patterns or tricks others have found to use gnus to store informations. I use a very simple method by sending me messages without a 'To: ' but only a 'Gcc: ' header. Well since some time gnus bothers me with a 'No receiver, perform Gcc anyway? (y or n)' question, but it still works. I'm quite sure there would be room for some improvements and new Gnus features regarding information storage if one of the Gnus developers would donate some of his time to think and work on this special way of using Gnus... (but probably it is already there... -- when did I read The Fine Gnus Manual from beginning to end the last time? ;-) Thank you to you all for this wonderful software, Robert Epprecht
