When it asks `From backend' you are supposed to type the name of the backend you want. Since your secondary select is nnml then an nnml backend would be a good choice. Although you could chose any of the gnus backends. > > I'm actually just confused. I'm basically trying to create a (maybe > nnml) group to archive/sort some messages. I thought `G m' was the > appropriate command. I guess not. Not sure what you mean by `archive/sort'. But you can create an nnml group by giving `nnml' as backend when prompted for `From backend'. Another easy may is to copy a message to a group name of your choice by pressing `B c' on a message and giving the name you chose, gnus creates the group for you.
