I use ssh -C \ -L 9143:imap.server.xy:143 \ /usr/X11R6/bin/xbiff -file /path/to/my/procmail_log before firing up gnus and just tell gnus to connect to localhost port 9143: (setq gnus-secondary-select-methods (nnimap "hip" (nnimap-address "127.0.0.1") (nnimap-server-port 9143) (nnimap-list-pattern ("INBOX" "mail/*"))) )) As you guessed (or not :-) "procmail_log" is a nnimap group that gnus fetches, but that's unsubscribed, so xbiff works. It's not a very elegant solution, but it works for me. bye, -- Andi Hechtbauer anti@spin.de System Administration voice: +49 941 94 65 937 SPiN GmbH http://www.spin.de/ fax: +49 941 94 65 938 ------- web design - java chats - guestbooks - java/cgi coding -------
