Yup but..
  1. .newsrc.eld isn't supposed to be edited by hand
  2. Having one group per line would increase the size of the file
     enormously I believe..

But of the records, what I do when I edit my .newsrc.eld file is
replace all ')'s with ')[newline]', warning though, remember that some

Nope.

Could you mail me the `G E' output from a couple of these groups?

That's what it's supposed to do.

You can compress the folders, but you have to subscribe to the groups
as "folder.name.gz".

Use `B c' to copy the article to the nnfolder group of your choice.

Score-file repository.

We have a .gnus repository, how about a score-entries repository too?

Just copy the nice ones from the FAQ and put there??

Yes this works but not always:

I can create, compress and then subscribe to the groups "Emacs.gz" and "NT.gz" but
I cannot do this for "perl-win32-97-1.gz"
I create it, compress the file , but when I want to read it, I get :
---------------------------------------------------------
Signaling: (error "Couldn't request group nnfolder:perl-win32-97-1.gz: No such group: perl-win32-97-1.gz")

What I've done with some of my less frequently accessed folders is
compress them to folder.name.gz and then rename them back to the
original folder.name.  In my .emacs I enable a package called crypt++
which adds a hook to emacs's find-file stuff:  when a compressed file
is read it is automatically decompressed, and when it is written, it
is compressed first.  So the compression and decompression are
completely transparent to the users and to Gnus.

So far it works fine.  (Although, if I do gnus-no-server it opens
each folder in turn which means that each file needs to be decompressed,
and that takes forever.  Is this a bug in gnus-no-server?  Why does
it need to read each folder, while gnus doesn't?)
