Bursting hundreds of digests.

Bursting hundreds of digests.

[Eze Ogwuma]

Hello,

I have hundreds of digests on my system. I have been using Gnus to read
them individually with "C-d" but I would like to be able to see them as a
group so that all the messages can be threaded. 

Is there a way to burst an nnml folder full of digests or to treat all 
the digests as one single large group or send each message to my nntp 
server ..... ?

Eze.

Process mark all the digests and then type M-C-d, where the following
is bound.

gnus-summary-read-document: (n)
  -- an interactive compiled Lisp function.
  -- loads from "gnus-sum".
Open a new group based on the current article(s).
This will allow you to read digests and other similar
documents as newsgroups.
Obeys the standard process/prefix convention.

Thanks to new nnvirtual stuff it is actually quite fast too.

Thanks, I gave it a try and it worked fine once I had set my
max-lisp-eval-depth to 5000.

If I add my digests group to an nnvirtual group, run M-C-d then exit
gnus, when I restart gnus I will have to do M-C-d again to see all the
individual articles at once, right?

Perhaps I should re-spool all the individual articles.

Yes.
