OK, maybe we could at least document the IMAP search features, since these will probably most widely used. I just think we shouldn't have any stubs in the Gnus docs which go with Emacs 23. >> I think if nnir isn't properly documented, it should be removed from >> Emacs 23. > > I'm not in favour of doing so... Just to be clear: I'm talking about the Emacs 23.1 release branch. nnir should of course stay in Gnus CVS and in the Emacs development trunk. > I wonder if anybody uses nnir with some other search engine than imap. > If not, I'd vote for putting the imap stuff into nnimap.el and dropping > nnir altogether. Yes, that would be an option for Gnus CVS, but IMO we cannot introduce such a change for the Emacs 23.1 release. -David
