Thanks, this did the trick. I had tried something similar earlier, but
I imagine as is typical for me with lisp I was using
{too much,not enough} {quoting,parentheses}.
I never did figure out why nnfolder-generate-active-file wasn't working
with emacs-22, but this is better solution anyway.
Thanks very much,
Ted
