However, I use crossposting of mail extensively, it was the deciding feature which made me switch to Gnus. I often move mail around after they have been split, and the fact that it breaks crossposting is a big problem, i.e. it wastes lost of disk space. So I really would like to see `B m' and `B c' be crosspost aware. I.e. `B m' should not break the crosspost list, and `B c' should just add a new entry to the xref list (and use a hard link). JW> 2.

Question: How do I arrange that JW> articles to which I have replied in VM get the "A" mark? I think all three can be solved, once the Gnus backend protocol learns how to store marks in the server. This is needed for proper IMAP support, but it should also allow gnus to maintain the `Status:', `X-VM-v5-Attribute:' headers, and the BABYL labels. This should allow you to do the above.
