However that info seems to be available in > `gnus-opened-servers', Well, editing the parameters for a secondary server means to edit the (setq gnus-secondary-select-methods ...) statement. For example, I have the following: (add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods '(nnml "")) I can change it as follows to include the (hypothetical) parameter nnir-glimpse-home-dir: (add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods '(nnml "" (nnir-glimpse-home-dir "/foo/bar"))) The native select method (gnus-select-method) can be edited in a similar way. > Would making nnir scan `gnus-opened-servers' be cumbersom or > unwieldy? or just plain not smart. I was thinking of having nnir scan gnus-opened-servers, but I wanted the variable to contain more information. > Does having nnir manage the indexing part for glimpse or wais, and > naming the indexes after servers sound too crazy or programatically > unsound? I think I'll include default values based on your suggestion. Then people can either choose the right name for the glimpse index (then they don't have to change the server), or they can change the server (then they can use whatever they want for the glimpse index name). Thanks for your suggestion to use sensible default values. I'll put it in the todo list. kai -- A preposition is not a good thing to end a sentence with.
