Good point!  Also it would provide _some_ kind of transaction control.
Two independent ssh processes accessing the same file won't.
(not that it is likely to happen since I can't operate more than a
single Gnus at any point in time, but anyway...:-) )

The reasons I didn't go for imaps was:
 - I didn't know the steps neccessary to make tramp imap use the same
   auth as nnimap
 - I didn't know what the relationship towards folder/message/file is?
   I.e. 
    - do I need to create a particular folder for the use of tramp?
    - will it create one message or many?
    - Can more than one file be stored in any particular folder?
   (I'm guessing that the answer is "yes", "one message for each file,
   deleting the existing message and creating a new message when saving
   a new version", and "yes".  But I didn't know for sure and it seemed
   like work to find out...:-) )
