Thanks for your help so far, but when I tried using your configuration I got told that Gnus couldn't open my dir when I cut and pasted your code and changed the directory. I'm curious, are you having fetchmail grab your mail for you and spooling it into /home/kobit/mail, or are you having Gnus fetch it? Is there a way I can tell Gnus that I'm creating a directory and I want to format it as nnmail? Many thanks, Dan
