I specifically use nnmh so I can read all my mail outside Gnus if I want. Back to the issue of a new backend. Being ignorant of the design issues involved, I'll ask why not just give the user the choice of adding the unseen sequences file functionality to the current backend(s) if she wants to use it? (extra option or something) -- it seems like it would more flexible that way. And yes I agree, for *Gnus*, nnml is a better interface. Jason R. Mastaler jason@mastaler.com
