The only messages from nnimap groups which are marked dormant are /old/. (Side note: is it useful to compact a sequence such as (... 55 56 ...) into (... (55 . 56) ...)? Is it faster than leaving a sequence of two uncompacted?) I like to mark my own posts dormant so that I can readily notice replies, but I don't see anything recent in the dormant sexps. -JimC -- James Cloos OpenPGP: 1024D/ED7DAEA6
