So I'm now thinking of using fetchmail instead. However, I have a couple of questions: 1) fetchmail seems to leave a bunch of msg.blahblahblah files in my /var/spool/mail/pdavis directory by default. Is this something gnus can read as a file mail source?, or do I have to get fetchmail to put all the messages into one file somehow? Anyone know what format or how to do that? 2) I'm on a Windows box, running fetchmail via cygwin. XEmacs and fsf emacs, however, are native Windows apps. Is there some way to get gnus to run fetchmail whenever I type 'g'? I don't want to have a fetchmail daemon running continuously. I only want fetchmail to happen when I try to get new mail in gnus. Thanks very much! -- -------- Peter Davis Pageflex Inc 617-520-8345 215 First Street 617-868-0784 (FAX) Cambridge, MA 02142 pdavis@pageflexinc.com http://www.pageflexinc.com
