Try 'tnef2txt' (available via freshmeat et al).

more IMAP


When connecting to a particular IMAP host I see 3 groups       
       0: nnimap+lula-imap:lula
       *: nnimap+lula-imap:Sent Items
       *: nnimap+lula-imap:Drafts

This is an experimental server and is only carrying one group 
"lula"

Several people have commented on the "Sent Items" and "Drafts" groups
that appear, but the host operator says it is our mail clients that
create them,  that they aren't really on the host at all.

Is gnus doing that?

Nope.  Those are from Netscape or Outlook or Eudora or the like.  Gnus
only creates groups when you tell it to.  :)

I'm connecting to this server with gnus and I see the groups
mentioned.  Are you saying the server itself is Netscape, Outlook or
Eudora software?

Re: more IMAP

I think he is suggesting that someone else has logged in with a
netscape client and those groups have been created.

I use imap from a linux box. I have an account on that box. All the
imap folders are in my home directory with file names = to the folder
names.

So if someone logged into this anonymous server of yours, and sent a
message, netscape makes a "Sent Message" file. You log in with gnus,
and see a "Sent Message" folder. Simple.

If you don't like seeing it, unsubscribe from it. If you don't like
it, open it and move the messages out of it, to the INBOX, mark them
as unread MM-uu and they will be put into whatever group gnus would
sort them to, next time you reload g.

Yes. nnfolder with .overview files.... (as suggested on this thread earlier)

(although this may not be faster depending on what you do with these, though I
would expect it to be faster if you had to move 10000+ messages from a single
source to a single destination: it would only need to open and close a file
four (both folder + overview) instead of 20000 times)

Yes Pu-leeese :-) 

This is one of the top features of IMAP for me. It would be so great,
I even considered learning elisp just to implement _that_. But then...

By "###", I meant sets of article numbers, not literal "###".

You have such a list, but it's got just one article noted as having
been the object of a reply, article 13167.  If you've actually replied
to more than this, then something has induced the destruction of the
rest of the reply list.

I can't explain that; I've never seen it happen, in any version of Gnus.

> How to correct ?

You can edit the reply list under `G E' yourself, if you want to
re-add those article numbers to which you know you've replied.  But I
know this is neither an obvious list nor an easy one to generate.

draft group problem (Gnus 5.8.3)

I just upgraded my Gnus from 5.8.2 to 5.8.3 and now I can't seem to
enter my `drafts' group anymore.  Emacs says "Couldn't request group
nndraft:drafts: Opened server  using directory ~/News/drafts/".  I've
checked, and ~/News/drafts/ contains a `drafts' directory.

I did not change anything, so I'm a bit unsure just what is causing
this (I'm also not very good with elisp).

the draft group parameters are

((timestamp 14477 26788)
 (gnus-dummy
  (gnus-draft-mode)))

I'd be gratefull for any help on this.
