Well, I see one thing that would make it not-totally-trivial to just insert something tar-mody between nnml and the files, and that is that one can't add new files to tar-mode "directories". But just reading would be ok. I don't know what would be cleanest -- add a new backend (nntar?), or just make nnml tar-enabled? If I were to add a new backend, it would probably work as a frontend for all the other backends, so you could have tar nnmh, nnfolder (etc) groups. But they would all be read-only, wouldn't they? Do we need this? -- Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen * larsi@ifi.uio.no (a red leaf that falls from the purple tree)
