Which made me wonder -- would there be a >> better index/search tool for my linguistically somewhat mixed >> mailboxes? Which do other gnus-users recommend? I've recently switched to namazu for nnir because it seems to have better support for searching on specific mail headers, and because it indexes so much faster than swish-e (and with much less load while doing it). But, for mail searching, if you are using maildir, check out mairix. I haven't looked at integrating it into emacs yet, but it builds a maildir folder containing links to the matching messages, which you can then browse in Gnus. I can't believe how fast it searches -- it's unreal. I use mairix to search my maildir groups and namazu on the nnml groups. But I plan on shifting everything over to maildir (nnimap actually). -- -John Sullivan1 -http://www.wjsullivan.net -GPG Key: AE8600B6
