Emacs 21 (e.g. Gnus 5.9) already has imap.el. Of course not a current version, so I don't know if it would be sufficient for trimp.el/tramp-imap.el. But I don't think this matters much. A library for "file storage in IMAP" should probably be included in Emacs, either as part of tramp or independently, but not as part of Gnus (making it possible to save drafts on IMAP would be a very nice feature for Gnus, of course!). So you should discuss it on emacs-devel sooner or later. Bye, Reiner. -- ,,, (o o) ---ooO-(_)-Ooo--- | PGP key available | http://rsteib.home.pages.de/
