Thanks! That's perfect.

Now that I'm using your nnir[1] with glimpse, I'm comfortable keeping
one list in several nnml dirs.

Speaking of nnir, WIBNI gnus-group-make-nnir-group accepted an
optional argument via C-u to let the user edit the glimpse command
that's used? Then Gnus/nnir could be a general and easy-to-use
interface to glimpse.

I'm thinking in particular of 600MB of Catholic reference materials
(text files) I've collected that I usually need to glimpse-search
while reading email in Gnus.

Thanks -
