Hello,

    thanks so far, but sorry that doesn't work.

    Meanwhile I've recogniced gnus stores the FCC messages in mbox format
    (nnbabyl seemed to be true for my old situation where an existing file
    for the FCC header allready exited, which was in nnbabyl format).

    So I switched from babyl to mbox, but all I receive are these

       Can't select group

    message. The more general question I'm asking is how do I open an
    existing file of what format ever within gnus without hacking
    gnus-secondary-select-methods?

    That's not very user-friendly. I guess I still haven't understand the
    gnus-way...

        Peter
