But how somebody can change from Gnus to another one ? :) I use maildrop on the server to split my mail. The main benefit to using server based filtering is that you can use other mail readers. Yeah, I love Gnus and have used it since September Gnus, but sometimes I'm places where I don't have ssh access, but do have web access, therefore I can still have all my filtering done while not using Gnus and not loose any functionality. I honestly have never used Gnus' filtering. I used procmail (w/ UW IMAP) for years, but have switched to maildrop (w/ Courier IMAP) and wouldn't trade it for anything. cdh -- Chris D.
