Hi,
It's a little late in the evening, but I've decided to post anyway.
I was wondering if Lars, or anyone in the know could tell me when
expiry under the `agent' is likely to be sorted out - only I've just
done another `gnus-agent-expire' which would appear to have messed
with my .overviews - another expire sorted it out.
Whilst I'm here, I note that in the `Newest Features' node of the
gnus manual for quassia, there is the intention to `push active file
and NOV file parsing down into C code'. This would really speed things
up no? I've just started with C and was curious as to how this might
be easily accomplished - would the active file and/or NOV files be
passed to a C program in a buffer via the elisp `call-process'
function and the parsed output returned in another (or perhaps the
same) buffer? If I can work out what kind of parsing takes place here,
I'd like to give it a go - some kind of high level spec would help (my
elisp is novice too).
I appreciate the above may be already in hand, but 'Newest Features'
does seem a rather long list and I was just interested in something
tangible I could cut my teeth on (or smash my face, perhaps).

Regards, Mike.

No, Lars will write a C subr to do the gory work. I offered to port
the code to XEmacs.
It would be kind of cool to be able to enter the control group without
requiring slrn's assistance.

Today or tomorrow is my plan.

RMS and I went over this a while back, and we decided on something.
I've got it archived somewhere, but I don't recally the details
exactly. We settled on a quite general scheme.
