Have you set `user-mail-address' and `user-full-name'? That will make
your life easier in many other ways.

Usually its true.
But because gnus inserts the From: string "Held
"
automatically, i dont know how gnus should query.
Is it possible to create a posting style for nnrss? or any other
automatism?

I use ebdb for my adresses, but i could not find a command to insert
from: adresses included with the smtp server etc.

Any clues?

Regards
Poul

Not that I am aware of.  Others might chime in to prove me wrong... ;-)

What you can do is go into the nnmaildir group, select all messages, and
then ask to copy them all to an nnml group you have previously
created.  This should work.  You could probably "move" them rather than
copy but I'm always paranoid about losing emails.

Is there a way to convert all my messages from nnmaildir to nnml?

Thanks for the detailed information. I am wondering if the use of the
demon does not block emacs?
