(The index is your friend.) Thanks for the tip, Carson. It appears that what I need is some combination of nneething (which acts on directory hierarchies) and nnbabyl. I am not clear from the docs whether nneething will properly identify babyl files as containing many messages, or whether it will treat the whole file as a single "message". I am trying to test it out using a directory (~/BABYL) containing a couple of babyl files: (setq gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnbabyl "Inbox" (nnbabyl-get-new-mail nil)) (nneething "BABYL" (nneething-include-files "~/BABYL/")))) but the nneething group is not being created for mysterious reasons. Gnus just beeps at me. /DA. > [1] http://www.gnus.org/manual/big-gnus.html#SEC193 > [2] http://www.gnus.org/manual/big-gnus.html#SEC218
