If so, nnmail-use-procmail is your friend. Also see nnmail-procmail-directory and nnmail-procmail-suffix. In a nutshell: If nnmail-use-procmail is t and nnmail-procmail-directory is "~/spool/" and nnmail-procmail-suffix is ".in", then Gnus puts all mails from the file "~/spool/foo.bar.in" into the group "nnml:foo.bar". (It does not make a difference whether procmail wrote these files, or Mailagent, or slocal, or something else, they just need to be mbox format files.) kai -- This gubblick contains many nonsklarkish English flutzpahs, but the overall pluggandisp can be glorked from context. -- David Moser
