If you want, you can B-c (B-m if permissions are right) everything from there. It's got to be faster than remailing everything to yourself. Just enter the server buffer and add an nnml server with some name like "oldnnml". Then edit that server to specify nnml-directory and nnml-active-file. Then browse it. I just tested this by copying a couple of my group directories to a new location and except that I had to run nnml-generate-nov-databases in that server buffer to get an active file built it worked just fine. I was able to move and copy between the two locations easily. I haven't tried it, but I would guess you could add this extra nnml server to your gnus-secondary-select-methods list and it'll automatically be opened whenever you run gnus. hth, -- Dave Goldberg Post: The Mitre Corporation\MS B305\202 Burlington Rd.\Bedford, MA 01730 Phone: 617-271-3887 Email: dsg@mitre.org
