For me, procmail dumps debian-user into the file incoming/mail.lists.debian-user.spool, GNUS automatically adds those messages to a special mail folder, 'mail.lists.debian-user', which looks just like a newsgroup. I sort about 10 mailing lists this way and read them just like newsgroups. Some have auto-expire set, others do not. This gives you scoring and threading for free. Without this, I would not read mailling lists. (Or, if you prefer command line interfaces, you may want to check out MH) Steve [EMAIL PROTECTED]
