In one of your earlier articles I've found:

| :path "c:\\cygwin\\var\\spool\\mail\\pdavis"
| :path "f:/cygwin/var/spool/mail/pdavis"

Where is the file, `C:' or `F:'?

Hm, maybe I'll test it tomorrow on my Windows partition and a spool
file.

[Ok, done the test]

I've copied a small spool file with 5 messages from my Unix box to
"f:/var/mail/fhaun". On W2K I use this setting with Emacs 21.2 and Oort
Gnus v0.06:

(add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods '(nnml ""))
(setq mail-sources
      '((file :path "f:/var/mail/fhaun")))

It works. _NO_ problems. For testing I've converted all "UNIX line ends"
to "DOS line ends". It works too. And if there are problems with
permissions, movemail.exe complains about it.
