Hi
I have downloaded archives from a mailing list (in mbox format) and
would like to import them into gnus.
Is there any way that I can do this from gnus?
Thanks,
Rainer

OK - I converted them into maildir format and now I will put them into
dovecot.
Cheers,

I've never tried this, but:
G F <name-of-mbox-file>
should open the mbox file as an ephemeral nndoc group, and then you can
mark and move/copy the articles to a different group (eg. on an IMAP
server).

I've used that a bunch of times - it has worked well for me.
Just a data point,

I am sure that it works (I tried it as well) but it takes ages to open
an mbox file with thousands of emails - so no option if 100 mbx files
are involved.
But I managed using another script (see my other post)
Thanks,

Ahh, I misread - I thought it was one mbox with 100 emails in...
With 100 files, something more automated is definitely preferable.
(Altough in a pinch, a keyboard macro might be doable ;-))

Cool!
Best regards,
