In other words, I'd like to suck in (technical term) all of the groups from that old .newsrc file, preserving their current status (articles read, etc.) in my .newsrc.eld. Is this possible, or am I just being perverse? I'm using gnus 5.8.0, btw. -Emerick -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- "i am a lost soul, i shoot myself with rock and roll, the hole i dig is bottomless, but nothing else can set me free." --- Emerick Rogul --------- 'i am a scientist', gbv
