I'm unsure about the meaning of "sorting functions". If this means sorting different mails into different folders depending on their headers, then Gnus can do that easily. If this means affecting the order of displaying messages, that can be done, too, but it is fairly slow. Example for former meaning of mail sorting with Gnus: ;; slightly edited (setq nnmail-split-methods (list (list "auto.bbdb" "x-Loop:[EMAIL PROTECTED]") (list "auto.ctwm" "sender:.*owner-ctwm") (list "auto.ding" "\\(to\\|cc\\):[EMAIL PROTECTED]") (list "auto.ding" "\\(to\\|cc\\):[EMAIL PROTECTED]") (list "auto.debian" "\\(to\\|cc\\|x-loop\\):.*debian-\\(user\\|changes\\)") (list "auto.debian-doc" "\\(to\\|cc\\|x-loop\\):.*debian-\\(doc\\|book-discussion\\)") (list "auto.fvwm" "sender:.*owner-fvwm") (list "mail.misc" ""))) This means, that mail with the specified X-Loop header goes in the auto.bbdb folder, mails sent by owner-ctwm goes in auto.ctwm and so on. All mail that doesn't match anything else goes in mail.misc. I just use the simple mechanism, there is a "fancy" mechanism, too, which can do all kinds of things. Such as putting some mail into several groups. kai -- A large number of young women don't trust men with beards.
