...unless those changes are made to the .overview and
.marks as well, right?
But even if that was worked out I suppose you had to
have some lock mechanism so not to get races and the
risk of inconsistent data?
But isn't this a bit academic anyway because isn't the
whole idea to have the files at your disk and use Gnus
as the client? Whoa yeah, I suppose it isn't an
unthinkable scenario to have it as a server and then
access it with different clients. But on the third
hand, do you typically spend years mastering Emacs,
Gnus, and Emacs Gnus, just so you can use a plethora of
clients? I wouldn't, for sure.
