Something a bit more useful would be to translate article numbers from the news server into message-ids and vice versa. So when you get to the new news server you can go mark them read/ticked/whatever again, without having to re-read them. I've seen a perl script around somewhere that does something similar for plain newsrc files. Of course, that's a lot more data to drag around, but I would hope it's something you don't have to do that often...

Yes, I've been thinking along those lines, but a) it seems like lots of work, and 2) if we're not exceptionally clever, it'll take forever to query the server for all those Message-IDs, and iii) it won't work 100% correctly no matter what we do. But something like that really should be done. -- Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen * larsi@ifi.uio.no (a red leaf that falls from the purple tree) From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 X-Msuck: nntp://news.gmane.io/gmane.emacs.gnus.general/4746 Path: main.gmane.org!not-for-mail From: larsi@ifi.uio.no (Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen) Newsgroups: gmane.emacs.gnus.general Subject: Re: Dumping the ELD file to something portable..

I've added something like this to the Red Gnus todo list. Gnus should do some article number -> message-id translation (`gnus-pack-bags-for-travelling') and the reverse (`gnus-unpack-bags') to enable people to move around from server to server. I don't know how to do that in finite time, though. -- Miss Leonora Cortes, age 85, purchased three large bags of individually wrapped Halloween candles to give out last year, though no children came to her door.
