Yes, that's called pulling rank, and especially if it doesn't relate to the issue. "20 years" doesn't relate to Rmail or Gnus, and nothing can be deducted from it, apart from, perhaps "Rmail is at least 20 years old". (But we are not discussing the age of Rmail.) >> Because this was a misunderstanding, I'm not going to >> be angry about it. > > Likewise. Your Rmail folders may be what you desire but I always wanted *one file per message*, and fully automated. This is what I meant by the T-Rex metaphor. This metaphor wasn't crystal clear so I don't blame you for misunderstanding. What you did was turning the T-Rex into packs of velociraptors, but I want a swarm of paleo-bees, each and every one separated from the other. -- Emanuel Berg - programmer (hire me!
