With the new marks code, you can move a directory like
~/Mail/mail/misc from one machine to the other and the marks will go
along. Or you can save some of your mail groups on CD and then access
them later on, keeping all the marks and stuff.
Previously, all the marks were in .newsrc.eld, and it wasn't easy to
back up only that part of it which was relevant to a specific group.
