Don't you think? Maybe. Depends how much effort one's willing to put into handling her mail, relative to other things, and how much of that to do now, relative to later. To take the extreme case, what if the OP wants to keep the rules in both formats and keep them in sync? You don't recommend always editing both sides, do you? If OP just wants to switch from Gnus to some Sieve processor for good, and has only a moderate number of rules, I agree with you. -- Please *no* private copies of mailing list or newsgroup messages. Rule 420: All persons more than eight miles high to leave the court.
