 Now if I could just figure out why gnus doesn't work right under emacs
 I could finish migrating from Linux to FreeBSD.

I use same .gnus in both GNU/Linux and FreeBSD and keep the mailboxen on the
$HOME of both boxen sync-ed with each other, and works great for me.

I posted that in another thread and replied later when I discovered
the problem.  It appears that I had somehow put gnus-agent in offline
mode, so it worked once I realized that and put it back online.

How do you sync the mailboxes together?  That sounds like something
that could be useful for my configuration.  Actually I am trying to
move my old mail from Linux to FreeBSD, but syncing might be an easier
way to handle moving it.

I use following sh script to synchronize my mailbox stuff which includes
Maildirs, Gnus configuration, procmail configuration, mairix db, etc.

#v+
#!/bin/sh

cwd=$(pwd)

cd
for i in .newsrc .newsrc.eld .newsrc~ .newsrc.eld~ .newsrc-dribble~ .gnus 
.gnus.elc .procmailrc mail/ .maildir/ .mutt/ Mail/ News/ .mairix/; do
if [ -d ${i} ]; then cd ${i} ; fi
rsync -rvzdlt --delete /disks/bsd-home/${USER}/${i} .
if [ -d $HOME/${i} ]; then cd ; fi
done
cd ${cwd}
#v-

Thanks, I'll have to think about that.
