Instead, we could use ~/Gnus/nnml/ for (nnml "") and ~/Gnus/nnml+unnamed/ for (nnml "unnamed"). Or something like that. (nnml "foo") would still interfere with (nnml "foo/bar"). Should we worry about such cases? Slashes in server addresses could be encoded in directory names somehow, but I don't know if it's worth the effort. How likely is it that someone would use such an address, and also not specify the nnml-directory server parameter? > But there is a problem with the old .newsrc.eld files.
