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.
