I've had a quick look at the interface, and it seems quite sane. The HTML can be parsed easily, and each message has a unique indentifier, so that Gnus can build id<->number maps for each group. However, there is no overview over how many messages exists in each mailing list archive, so implementing `nnmarc-request-list' can't be done. An `M-g'-like action will have to be taken to get the number of articles in each archive, so if you subscribe to a lot of these groups, it'll be somewhat slow. If anybody else wants to implement this, I'm all for it. :-) If not, I'll see what I can do later... -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) larsi@gnus.org * Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen
