Possibly it could be this easy: "A mail backend system fetches and formats email for later manipulation and display by a compatible front end. GNUS provides one such frontend User Interface". Here are listed different backends and the storage format which a front end must be compatible with in order to use that data. http://www.gnus.org/manual/gnus_175.html If you read what these backends do, it will be clear enough. _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
