(Well, only to freeWAIS-sf, really.) Those who might want to try it are welcome to download it from . See the beginning of the file for more documentation. I'd like to extract a few paragraphs from this documentation: ;; Restrictions: ;; ;; * Currently, this expects that you use nnml or another ;; one-file-per-message backend. ;; * It can only search one mail backend. ;; * There are restrictions to the Glimpse setup. ;; * There are restrictions to the Wais setup. ... ;; Todo, or future ideas: ;; * There is currently no error checking. ;; ;; * The summary buffer display is currently really ugly, with all the ;; added information in the subjects. How could I make this ;; prettier? ;; ;; * A function which can be called from an nnir summary buffer which ;; teleports you into the group the current article came from and ;; shows you the whole thread this article is part of. ;; Implementation suggestions? ;; ;; * Support other mail backends. In particular, probably quite a few ;; people use nnfolder. How would one go about searching nnfolders ;; and producing the right data needed? The group name and the RSV ;; are simple, but what about the article number? ;; Have you got other ideas? Do not hesitate to tell me what you think. I'll also be happy to send you the file by mail if you like. kai -- You ate somebody? -- Just a leg. -- That's terrible! -- Not with mustard. (Terry Pratchett: Interesting Times)
