Interesting question! I remember doing some stuff (?) with that once. Now my /var/mail is empty tho. Hey, at least I don't get those annoying messages in the VTs about new mail... If there is support for that there should be a select method (see `gnus-secondary-select-methods') but even if there isn't, it can possibly be done using respooling if nothing else... Can you do 'ls -l' in that dir and possibly find out more about the current format? Do file(1), cat(1), the works... > This is my complete gnus config [...] It is a good start :) -- underground experts united .... http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 Emacs Gnus Blogomatic ......... http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573/blogomatic - so far: 69 Blogomatic articles - with: #moasen @ irc.freenode.net 6667
