For instance the way I sort emails into nnml groups is clearly configuration, but is different at work and at home. A related problem is that there isn't an obvious way to transfer (or not transfer) the per-group configuration information. And with email or news that I read both at home and at work, it would be nice to have a good way to transfer the "current state" information, too. -- Laura (mailto:lconrad@world.std.com , http://www.world.std.com/~lconrad/ ) (617) 661-8097 fax: (801) 365-6574 233 Broadway, Cambridge, MA 02139
