Per> Why don't you just use `B m' to move the message? ``The current newsgroup does not support article moving'' Even if it did work, it does not have the desired semantics. I like the feature that saving the article leaves it unread in the destination folder. B m has three flaws: (sgnus 0.12) * It does not respect readedness status of the starting article. It usually leaves the article read. * Sometimes it does not leave the article read, but the group listing is not updated properly. I haven't tracked this down enough to make a decent bug report yet. * It does not copy status. Eg. a marked article (with ``!'') does not end up marked in the destination folder. I haven't checked fully, but I don't believe it copies things like reply status either. You could also add the number of keystrokes required too.

I have multiple spool files there. How can writing to gnu.emacs.gnus.spool cause mail lossage when procmail does not know about that file? -- steve@miranova.com baur
