What I've done with some of my less frequently accessed folders is compress them to folder.name.gz and then rename them back to the original folder.name. In my .emacs I enable a package called crypt++ which adds a hook to emacs's find-file stuff: when a compressed file is read it is automatically decompressed, and when it is written, it is compressed first. So the compression and decompression are completely transparent to the users and to Gnus. So far it works fine. (Although, if I do gnus-no-server it opens each folder in turn which means that each file needs to be decompressed, and that takes forever. Is this a bug in gnus-no-server? Why does it need to read each folder, while gnus doesn't?) Dan -- Dan Christensen jdc@math.jhu.edu
