gnus-message-archive-group is too big!

[Randy Yates]

I've set this variable to point to a file to store all outgoing messages. Unfortunately
it stores EVERYTHING in one long humoungous file. It's now over 100 MB long. It's taking
to long to access it.

Is there any cure for this short of moving it out of the directory so that gnus starts
a new file? That is, is there any automated way for gnus to split the file up?

You can use a different backend that supports one message per file.

For example,

(setq gnus-message-archive-group
      '((if (message-news-p)
            "nnml:Sent-News"
          "nnml:Sent-Mails")))

HTH,
