This means that marks will be stored both in .newsrc.eld and in the backend, and will slow operation down somewhat. The default value is nil. But for IMAP, will Gnus still store the maps in the backend? Or do I need to set this? If this is t, should it say something about which set of marks takes precedence? And how does this relate to nnfolder-marks-is-evil? (And the docs should probably say what happens when the variable is nil. Presumably the marks are stored only in the .newsrc.eld, right?) Dan
