Can i read my mail groups through nnagent? That may sound pretty silly, but imagine i keep my mail on the network filesystem, but occasionally i want to check my mail on my laptop. So i want something that can keep and manage a cache of messages from the mail group. I'm not really sure how this would work for reading new mail, should it accept the new mail into the mail group then "download" it into the nnagent group, for disconnected operation? Then i can't read my new mail unless i have at least temporary access to the mail group. It would be really nice to just accept the mail from the spool or pop server into nnagent and mark them specially in the nnagent group to be uploaded the next time we're connected. This gets into some sticky questions about the two .newsrc.eld's managing the mail groups on disk, but maybe there's a way to use the slave code to get that right? greg
