I still use it.  I haven't had the time lately to make any kind of switch
to a better method and for my application I don't see a better method.

I use it for keeping the ding-list archives, and I want to keep things
pretty much instantly updated, so I can't wait until I get into GNUS for
the splits to happen.  Here's my Procmail recipe:

:0: ding.lock
*^TOding@ifi.uio.no
{
      :0 c
      ding-list-recent/.

      :0 c
      ding-list/.

      :0 hw
        | ( /home/tibbs/bin/add-active-nov $LASTFOLDER ; \
          /usr/local/bin/tail -500 ding-list/.overview > ding-list-recent/.overview ; \
          rm -f blurgh `ls -1t ding-list-recent/* | sed -e 1,500d` )
}

As you see, I really need Procmail to keep the recent list, and I need the
.overview file to be up to date while I'm splitting.  Of course, if anyone
has any better ways of doing this, I'm all ears.  I know this works without
problems.

Joe> I'm interested in getting everyone cut over to the Gnus way.

I wonder if I can keep doing the archives my while doing everything else
the proper way without any conflicts.
