When I started all this ruckus, I made a copy of the RMAIL file to bring it out of the havoc. But by now, I had forgot about it, so those 30 mails were the correct number (in the new file). I should have known that by now, (just ask Assange), *no* good deed goes unpunished... Of course, good news is, there is nothing wrong with the respooler. But: > If you have old mail in an RMAIL file, you can open the > entire RMAIL file in Gnus with G f > (`gnus-group-make-doc-group') and "respool" it with M P > a (mark all) No matter how hard I looked (I even used Google!), I couldn't find any mark all or M P a shortcut. So I wrote this (defun gnus-summary-respool-all () (interactive) (let ((lines (count-lines (point-min) (point-max)))) (beginning-of-buffer) (gnus-summary-respool-article lines (gnus-find-method-for-group "nnml:mail.misc") ))) Anyway, *thanks so much*! Usenet and mail with one interface (with message mode, .mailrc, etc. already perfect), and now also shell access to the mails (instead of that T-Rex RMAIL file), this is something that I've visualized for *years*. *sob* -- Emanuel Berg - programmer (hire me!
