Me and my nnextern..

[Andy Eskilsson <andy.eskilsson@telelogic.se>]

Guess this is my last call for this.. 

Well basically I have a program that fetches mail from you hotmail
account, and currently puts it into a normail mail folder (it is
easily modified for other output).

I want Gnus to take care of splitting and expiration of mails that
comes in through this place..

I am reading mail through pop, it never lands on /var/spool/mail, so I
could put it there and enable nnmail again..

Well now comes the funny part, I would like to POST through hotmail
too, it is just a hack or two away ;-)

Am I the only one who see a use of a nnextern backend?? So it is easy
(for us non-lispers) to hack an interface to for example supernews
mail, supernews (WREN) web reading news, sexzilla.com's webnews(yeah I
know, I only read it for alt.sex.furniture^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H), some
basic webboards! (Now that would be a hit, nnwebboard backend!)

nnextern should probably be able to manage both mail-way, taking care
of the article management by itself, and letting the other program
take care of the articles.. (can two backends put articles into the
same folders?)
