I wonder what's the best way of creating an archive group. If I make
an nnml group, it's listed in ~/Mail/active, and the directory is in
~/Mail. But I'd rather make my archive server nnml+arch, with group
nnml+arch:news-stuff in ~/News/news-stuff/, nnml+arch:mail-stuff in
~/News/mail-stuff, etc.
What's the best way to go about it? I've tried `G m' and things, but
I've failed. In fact, strange things began happening to my active
file after such experiments with other nnml servers. :-(

I'd recommending creating such a server in the server buffer, and then
use the virtual server name as the select method when creating
groups.

Yes, this works. But how do I select the appropriate directory? It's
still being saved to ~/Mail/...

You set `nnml-directory' (etc.) in the virtual server definition.
Doesn't that work?

Yes (I thanked privately), but I also needed to set up
nnml-active-file to something other than "~/Mail/active". Otherwise,
the bogus nnml:whatever groups kept coming up. I think some of these
things should be mentioned in the manual, under the "Archive servers"
section.
Currently, the manual explains how to set `gnus-message-archive-method',
but not how to create your own archive servers for saving mail and
news (even those *not* sent by you).

You probably want to set 'nnml-active-file' as well. If memory
serves, this saved me from several headaches when I've had two nnml
servers floating around.
