Stick with nnmh in what sense? As the original spool backend, or just for those cases where I plan to use both Gnus and MH to read/alter a group's messages? Just a sanity check here. I want to use nnml as the original spool backend and only use Gnus to touch those groups. Then, I want to save selected messages from those nnml groups to other nnmh groups using `O h'. I expect to be able to use both Gnus and MH to manipulate those nnmh groups. Jason R. Mastaler jason@mastaler.com
