Or there desire to be able to manipulate news on disk. That area is still `unfinished'. It needs to have the many niceties that are possible with the nnml backend extended to it. It needs: 1) sophisticated expiry 2) In group editing 3) Hand deletion in place if desired 4) Movement of messages from one group to another if desired Most importantly 5) gnus-agent-generate-nov-databases In general and in specific groups In brief, every kind of file manipulation that pertains to mail files on disk.
