But it seems then that one should be able to reset `nnir-glimpse-remove-prefix' from the default "home//Mail/" To: "/home//Mail/mail/ding" And thereby strip that prefix and search only "nnml:mail.ding" With C-h v showing: o nnir-glimpse-remove-prefix's value is o "/home/reader/Mail/mail/ding" o o Documentation: o *The prefix to remove from each file name returned by Glimpse o in order to get a group name (albeit with / instead of .). Then `G G' nnir Goes into a trance. Message buffer shows this after manually stopping it with C-g: Retrieving newsgroup: nnir:nnir... Doing glimpse query nnir... Doing glimpse query nnir...done Fetching headers for nnir:nnir... Quit The 'fetching headers' part never happens. -- Running Redhat Linux-5.1 Harry Putnam reader@newsguy.com
