We ended one thread by saying that Oort Gnus might be the time frame, but didn't specify _what_ would be changed. If nnimap is the only backend that would benefit, would that be sufficient justification to put the work into Gnus? Is there a history of changes to Gnus to support a particular backend? -- Steven E.
