gnus: The NNDiary Back End

 
 6.8.1 The NNDiary Back End
 --------------------------
 
 ‘nndiary’ is a back end very similar to ‘nnml’ (SeeMail 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.  SeeGroup Timestamp to see
 how it’s done.
