Christian> Christian Hi, I'm using the procedure described in the EmacsWiki: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/GnusSync Needs rsync & ssh and you need net access to the other machine. But it should be possible to adapt it to save the data to e.g. a memory stick. Hope this helps. Toto -- Mal: Well, they tell you never hit a man with a closed fist, but it is on occasion hilarious.
