Another course would be to break the monster groups down by mnth or whatever into several nnml groups. Or you could setup a tempory split to split them into nnfolder groups quite quickly. This *should* generate the groups named in the split. Something like this should do it. Evaluate the temp split, then enter the group and process mark every thing you want split out (From the top of summary buffer do C-u 11,000 `#' or whatever number) Then press `B r' (respool) and choose `nnfolder' as the backend to do the respooling. Then step back and watch it fly... (beware untested) ;;temp split (setq nnmail-split-methods '(("group-mnth1" "^Date:.*Jan.*1997") ("group-mnth2" "^Date:.*Feb.*1997") ("group-mnth3" "Date.*Mar.*1997") ("group-mnth4" "^Date:.*Apr.*1997"))) etc etc -- Harry Putnam reader@newsguy.com Running Redhat Linux-5.1
