Oooh, yeah. I have the latest version, as I just did some work on it. I'll put it up somewhere. The nndb.el that ships with Gnus doesn't work with the nndb that I have. The nndb tarball contains a working version, however. Btw, nndb is a sort of a personal NNTP server written in perl. It supports a number of unofficial NNTP extensions that allow it to operate effectively on mail. There has been a non-functional (at least with my version of nndb) Gnus backend for it shipping since September Gnus, I think. In any case, it was written to make reading mail with Gnus faster, yet still reliable. It supports command extensions that allow for the posting, splitting, deletion, copying, and (now) expiry of mail on the server itself. New is 0.15 is server side expiry. Ok, I've put it up at: -- David Blacka Software Engineer Directory Services/ davidb@rwhois.net Network Solutions, Inc. RWhois Development
