Hi,

i still prefer to use nnmbox as a backend for incoming mail. from time
to time, i archive big `mbox' files and start from a fresh mbox. i
simply remove old mbox from my home directory (or rename
it). fortunately, gnus seems to preserve article numbering in this
case.

i wonder: is it possible to `open' my old mboxes as if they were
normal mboxes in gnus? i.e. i'd like to access some articles in old
mboxes from gnus.

	Best regards, -- Vladimir.
