I specifically use nnmh so I can read all jason> my mail outside Gnus if I want. wes> You *can* use nnmh, so you can read wes> mail outside news as you stated, however, nnml is a much nice wes> backend for gnus (as its quite a bit faster). And, since the file wes> format is pretty much identicaly, there is no reason you can't use wes> the nnml backend and read the messages using regular mh commands. -- paul pjg@acsu.Buffalo.EDU |public keys at: | http://urth.acsu.Buffalo.EDU/~pjg/key.html if the above contains opinions they are mine unless marked otherwise.
