But within each message the headers are visible: in fact in my .gnus.el I put the line: (setq gnus-show-all-headers t) . That's what I did: * within Outlook, in a certain folder I did: edit > select all file > save as... , and saved the whole folder in the file `/path/to/newbie.txt'; * within gnus I did: `G f /path/to/newbie.txt' , so creating an nndoc group; then, within that group, `M P b' and `B r nnml' . This way the old messages were imported to normal Gnus mail group hierarchy, but in the Summary buffer, unlike all other messages, the imported ones do not show the `from' and `subject'. If this problem remains, migrating old mail into gnus can not be considered happily solved. Is it possible to recover this, and how? Any help will be highly appreciated. Rodolfo
