I wasn't sure because I'm using the most recent version, but not really using it hard like before. I gave up trying to convert news to mail that way. So have no large groups to test it on. My giving up was not nnmailder related. Just seemed like too much complication using suck, procmail and then gnus to get the results I wanted. Some where in that chain of events I was generating lots of duplicates. Not related to the apps I don't think, but my processing scripts. There is one small thing that I can think of that might be improved some how. Those filenames are pretty ridiculous if you do anything with those files outside gnus. Seems like a simple incremental numbering scheme once the messags are brought from `new' would work. These are a tad unweildy: 1008622921.3916_0.sol.local.lan:2, 1011293422.3800_0.sol.local.lan:2,
