Anyway, I may have suggested > nnfolder as an *alternative* to nnbabyl files. Most probably. I found a script, in a directory I made for doing such tests, which converts many Babyl files to mbox format, exactly those I wanted to play with `nnfolder'. So maybe I realized and forgotten that I had to move away from Babyl to use `nnfolder'. But I never really succeeded in using it. For example, the active file contained a lot of `nil' groups, Gnus was refusing to open most of the groups, and other strangeties. This is why I was asking if someone has some working setup that I might try to mimic to start with, at least to understand a bit what is normal and what should be reported as a bug. I understand that all folders should be brought into a common directory, and I'm ready to create many symbolic links from a common place if this is required. (There might be in the order of 2000 to 3000 groups if I ever complete this job.) But how should I get the whole thing into motion? The manual does not help me much about it. I presume I would know how everything interrelates if I had fought enough to write a few backends, but as a mere user, I feel a bit lost about how to proceed. -- François Pinard mailto:pinard@iro.umontreal.ca Join the free Translation Project! http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~pinard
