A friend of mine uses a > system like this and is very happy with it. For me, this wouldn't be optimal. I don't want a new group to get created at the beginning of every month. When that happens, all of a sudden, I've got an empty group with no context for the current incoming messages. What I'd like to be able to say is "every month, archive the messages from the month that's 6 months ago into a new group". I wouldn't mind having to do this manually, though it'd be really nice to have an automated way to handle it. I might be interested in writing the elisp for this if someone could get me pointed in the right direction (I'd want to base the splitting on the actual message date, not the article numbers...) -- Rob Browning PGP=E80E0D04F521A094 532B97F5D64E3930
