Re: Splitting the Emacspeak List?

["Zachary Kline" <klinez@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Robert,
   This is precisely the sort of thing I was looking for.  I am using 
Nnimap, because my email server runs IMAP and I do sometimes use multiple 
clients to read it.  The default Gnus mail behavior of deleting everything 
once fetched doesn't really appeal to me.
   Thanks, though.  I'm sure I'll be able to learn from this stuff.
All the best,
Zack.
