Very true! The indexing is also *very* fast. I'm using a very simple "integration" into Gnus (I'm using nnml for normal mail and nnfolder for archive groups). I created a directory ~/Mail/search-results and put the following in ~/.mairixrc: #v+ base=~/Mail mh=mail...:list... mbox=archive/sent-mail/[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9]:archive/sent-news mformat=mh mfolder=search-results database=/home/mxp/.mairix_db #v- I then added ~/Mail/search-results as a foreign nnmh group in Gnus (I also made it "permanently visible" so that it's easier to find). For searching I simply use something like M-! mairix f:larsi RET g in the Group buffer and I can then browse the results in the search-results group. The only minor annoyances are that I have to press g to update the group before entering it the first time and that the message counts are (understandably) *way* off. Apart from that I'm very satisfied with this setup: It's easy, fast, and transparent. -- Michael Piotrowski, M.A. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Public key at <http://www.dynalabs.de/mxp/pubkey.txt> _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
