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?) /andy
