The only thing I'm not very confident about is how we would de= al with interaction between different servers (like respooling across backends= ). Making server parameters of these variables don't seem like a sufficiently abstracted design to me; the same applies to the kludge I'm currently using BTW. The other problem with this solution is that it still requires an external mail split process, before Gnus actually reads its mail sources. T= his should also be ideally avoided. I haven't thought very much about this yet. --=20 / / _ _ Didier Verna http://www.inf.enst.fr/~verna/ - / / - / / /_/ / EPITA / LRDE mailto:didier@lrde.epita.fr /_/ / /_/ / /__ / 14-16 rue Voltaire Tel. +33 (1) 53 14 59 47 94276 Kremlin-Bic=EAtre cedex Fax. +33 (1) 44 08 01 99
