But splitting with procmail into groups which are modified simultaneously by Gnus is not a very good idea. For one, there is the problem of locking, this can be solved. For another, Gnus uses so called active files to speed up group access, where it stores the index number of the first and last articles. If procmail appends a few messages to a group, it will not be noticed by Gnus, unless you set `nnfolder-ignore-active-file' to t, but then you lose the speed-up. I suggest you use nnmail-split-fancy as nnmail-split-methods, it can do everything procmail can. If you still want to use procmail, use nnmaildir instead, which allows simultaneous read and write access and doesn't use active files. David
