I'm trying to say that there are variables where John just needs a setq whereas Jill has different needs and therefore has different values for different servers/groups. Oops. I just thought that nnmail-expiry-wait would be a likely candidate, but now I see that it is defcustom'd. Hm. Does that mean that one can't put nnmail-expiry-wait in the group parameters? Maybe I ran down the wrong track there? Can anyone enlighten me? kai -- OOP: object oriented programming; OOPS: object oriented mistakes
