Right now, if you (add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods '(nnml "")) and then (add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods '(nnfolder "")), nasty things are wont to happen. Basically, nnml and nnfolder try to read the same active file, and each one is mightily confused about the entries from the other. WIBNI something were done about this? What _could_ be done about this? kai -- The birch trees fly way too low these days.
