That's an idea, but the server waiting time is only part of the story. Due to the way gnus stores sent mail in one long file, that file has grown to be quite large, and now every time I send a mail it takes some number of seconds for gnus just to append the sent mail to the end of that file. Is there a way to move mail in the sent folder to another folder so that a) this file size doesn't affect the sending of new messages and b) I still have it available in a gnus-compatible folder for searching and reading? -- % Randy Yates % "With time with what you've learned, %% Fuquay-Varina, NC % they'll kiss the ground you walk %%% 919-577-9882 % upon." %%%% % '21st Century Man', *Time*, ELO http://www.digitalsignallabs.com
