Well, those could split their indexing stuff in a per-backend basis using several mairixrcs and databases. Then they probably need some wrappers around the nnmairix interface functions so that they use the correct mairixrc/database for the current backend. > Jumping to the original message in this group is another problem since > we only know the message-id but not the article number. nnmaildir and > nnml support fetching articles by message-id, but AFAIK nnimap does > not. It does, but only on a per-group basis. But because we already know the group from the path mairix gives us, we can enter the group and use ,----[ C-h f gnus-summary-refer-article RET ] | gnus-summary-refer-article is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `gnus-sum.el'. | (gnus-summary-refer-article message-id) | | Fetch an article specified by message-id. `---- ,----[ (info "(gnus)Finding the Parent") ] | Most of the mail back ends support fetching by `Message-ID', but do | not do a particularly excellent job at it. That is, `nnmbox', | `nnbabyl', `nnmaildir', `nnml', are able to locate articles from any | groups, while `nnfolder', and `nnimap' are only able to locate articles | that have been posted to the current group. (Anything else would be | too time consuming.) `nnmh' does not support this at all. `---- > Maybe it is somehow possible to apply the correct posting style even > when replying from the nnmairix group, then we wouldn't have to get > the original article in the first place. Maybe. But how about group parameters? I use a lot gcc-self and stuff, so jumping to the original group seems to be the better approach. And of course there's the case where the user himself doesn't know the original group from memory. Bye, Tassilo
