gnus: The NNDiary Back End
6.8.1 The NNDiary Back End
--------------------------
‘nndiary’ is a back end very similar to ‘nnml’ (Mail Spool).
Actually, it could appear as a mix of ‘nnml’ and ‘nndraft’. If you know
‘nnml’, you’re already familiar with the message storing scheme of
‘nndiary’: one file per message, one directory per group.
Before anything, there is one requirement to be able to run ‘nndiary’
properly: you _must_ use the group timestamp feature of Gnus. This adds
a timestamp to each group’s parameters. Group Timestamp to see
how it’s done.
