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. - J<
