I usually use nnml to keep my mail cleanly sorted. Unfortunately, a
few of the mails contain html, and w3 in combination with Emacs 19.34
is not quite up to the task. So, I have to read those with *shudder*
Netscape. This makes it necessary to put them in some kind of nnfolder
or such. Can I do this inside Gnus ? Right now I either have to do it
in mailagent, before Gnus gets at them, or later on with B m .

Huh?
(1) You could tell your friendly MIME processing thingy (probably tm
or rmime.el) to start netscape for HTML messages, couldn't you?
The following .mailcap entry comes in handy here:
text/html; netscape -remote "openURL(file:%s,new-window)"
(2) Some of your mail groups can be nnml groups and some can be
nnfolder, and you can use gnus-split-methods to put some messages
in nnml groups and some in nnfolder groups. Or you can use "B m".
I like (1).

But you can't always do what you like :-)
I can't imagine you want to here this, but:
My emacs runs on a central host because of the bloated BBDB database.
My netscape runs on the local host because of X timing problems using ssh.
tm writes the html file to /tmp/something and fires up netscape who
tells his colleague to go and find the file which isn't there on the
other machine.
So I revert to (2) and talking about Gnus.
What I would like to know is how to split incoming things to different backends
(with fancy splitting). I just cannot get it to work.
"B m" works, but that's what I would like to avoid.

Wrong. tm writes the html file to $TM_TMP_DIR which defaults to
/tmp. Does this help?

Thanks, that finally did it.
I once was that far. What I missed is that it is no help fiddling with
"mime/tmp-dir", because the external method uses the environment
variable. Now I just have to disable the trap to kill the file, because the
procedure finishes before the asynchronous Netscape gets at the file.
I can live with that.

Things like that originally caused me to search for another solution.
Anybody mention obfuscated here? I stumbled across rmime.el which is
also nice. I think this is a good reason to try rmime.el again :-)

Oh yeah, I vaguely remember trying to forget that I once put a "sleep
5" in tm-html... *shudder*
