I think I'm following directions in the manual at
(info "(gnus)Creating a Virtual Server")
(nnml "b"
(nnml-directory "~/Mail2")
(nnml-active-file "~/Mail2/active"))
But when I open the server hoping to maybe subscribe to something in
the directory, nothing is shown at all.
The directories under ~/Mail2 are directories with numbered messages
inside. But have never been part of a gnus backend before.
Gnus doesn't seem able to create an `active' file so I'm offering one
with just a list of the directories under ~/Mail2
cat ~/Mail2/active
[...]
all.bk
bogo_spam.bk
bogo_unsure.bk
mail_cron.bk
mail_fw.bk
mail_rsnap.bk
mail_rsync.bk
[...]
Should gnus be able format the active file? Do I need to add the
notations about how many messages etc myself?
If that is the case, I've forgotten what the notation really means.

And not doing much of a job finding it in the manual. The index item
for `active' here:
(info "(gnus)The Active File")
Doesn't appear to go into that kind of detail.
