I have done a half-assed attempt at providing a backend for it, but I'm afraid it won't work. nndb speaks NNTP but groks a couple of additional commands for deleting and moving messages. Since NNTP is a protocol well understood by Gnus, that might be an approach. But I also like the idea of providing a socket-level interface to the DBMS in Lisp and to then use that. kai -- This gubblick contains many nonsklarkish English flutzpahs, but the overall pluggandisp can be glorked from context. -- David Moser
