(But the above problem makes it work > only for a single mail.) Hmm...this sounds suspiciously like Gnus misidentified the format of the RMAIL file. Is it an older (so-called Babyl format) or newer (mbox format) RMAIL file? You can try both ways by giving a prefix arg to `gnus-group-make-doc-group' (that is, C-u G f) and choosing the appropriate file type. Hopefully, one or the other will parse correctly. -- Regards, WGG
