Hm. Yeah, this seems to have been my fault, I thought nnmaildir used
bigger files.

So how far are you? How stable is it? At least it seems there is no
documentation for it in the CVS version.

Okay, that rules it out for me, unfortunately. I would have liked to
give it a try, but I depend on mail splitting... no chance for me to
manage my mail traffic otherwise. 


By the way: I just wondered whether there is a way to have the summary
buffer sorted in a way that articles marked as "expirable" normally
don't show up at all or are at least all sorted out to the end of the
summary even when entering a group with no new mail. 

This is something I always wanted to do but never found in the docs.

Regards,
                Georg
