I once tried it, while pretesting what became 20.2, and this corrupted both my nnmail spool, overviews, and `.newsrc.eld', to the point I had much difficulty and a hard time to recover some good shape out of all this (and also given I'm far from being familiar with Gnus internals :-). If I were a good pretester, I know I should try it again, now, and report problems patiently. But I confess that I felt miserable enough, the first time through, that I has been rather shy attempting another try since then. On the other hand, I would *love* using well-written French names for mailgroups, and I presume the same applies to a lot of people and languages. If no one is courageous enough to jump, it will not happen. Sigh! -- François Pinard mailto:pinard@iro.umontreal.ca Join the free Translation Project! http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~pinard
