What about getting Gnus to store my .newsrc in a special > folder on the IMAP server? In theory Tramp could get an imap: method that would store a file in a message on an IMAP server. I tried to make this work but a chronic shortage of time has impeded me. If this worked, it would be nice for .newsrc, .bbdb, and many other files. My idea was to make the file name part of the subject line in some standard format. Multiple identical subject lines get sorted by date and only the latest is used, providing a sort of version control system. Ted
