Actually I'm on a MSW XP prof station with GNU Emacs 21.3.1 and Gnus v5.10.6. I use mailsplit to distribute incoming emails to nnml frontend folders, as I like the one file for one email solution. So eg. I have the nnml:mail.test group, which correspondents with the directory ~/Mail/mail/test, where gnus stores the email files. Now I've just moved to a new machine and completely messed up my .newsrc and newsrc.eld files. But, no problem, I'm starting from scratch again and my emails are still there in the mail directory. I can recreate the email group with the G m command in the group buffer and everthing is fine. But over time I created more than 250 email directories. So, typing in all group names for all email dirs would be quite some work. I wonder, if anybody out there knows an easier way to recreate the email groups in the group buffer from the directory listing. If not, I think about to use this approach: - get a directory listing in a buffer (shell-command ls) - use the dirnames to write a lisp routine like (gnus-group-make-group "mail.test" "nnml:") Before I do that, I wonder if you could tell me a more direct and gnus-like way to get back my email groups.
