No, for marking messages, no special backend is required. After all, you can hit M-u in nnimap groups, right? > Why did nntodo get its own backend? I'm not sure that I remember correctly. I think nntodo does something special for nntodo-request-accept-article. (It queries for the extra headers.) It would be desirable to rewrite all them thingies so that they can extend any other backend. For example, WIBNI nndraft could store your drafts on the IMAP server? Then you could access them from any host. Thoughts? kai -- ~/.signature: No such file or directory
