nndoc is a cute little thing that will let you read a single file
as a newsgroup. Several files types are supported:
babyl
|
The babyl (rmail) mail box. |
mbox
|
The standard Unix mbox file. |
mmdf
|
The MMDF mail box format. |
news
|
Several news articles appended into a file. |
rnews
|
The rnews batch transport format. |
forward
|
Forwarded articles. |
mime-parts
|
MIME multipart messages, besides digests. |
mime-digest
|
MIME (RFC 1341) digest format. |
standard-digest
|
The standard (RFC 1153) digest format. |
slack-digest
|
Non-standard digest format---matches most things, but does it badly. |
You can also use the special ``file type'' guess, which means
that nndoc will try to guess what file type it is looking at.
digest means that nndoc should guess what digest type the
file is.
nndoc will not try to change the file or insert any extra headers into
it---it will simply, like, let you use the file as the basis for a
group. And that's it.
If you have some old archived articles that you want to insert into your
new & spiffy Gnus mail backend, nndoc can probably help you with
that. Say you have an old `RMAIL' file with mail that you now want
to split into your new nnml groups. You look at that file using
nndoc (using the G f command in the group buffer
(see Foreign Groups)), set the process mark on all the articles in
the buffer (M P b, for instance), and then re-spool (B r)
using nnml. If all goes well, all the mail in the `RMAIL'
file is now also stored in lots of nnml directories, and you can
delete that pesky `RMAIL' file. If you have the guts!
Virtual server variables:
nndoc-article-type
|
This should be one of |
nndoc-post-type
|
This variable says whether Gnus is to consider the group a news group or
a mail group. There are two valid values: |
