[Greg Thompson]

i could have sworn that until very recently, hittin `a' in the group
buffer would prompt for a newsgroup, with the default being the group
under the point.  am i remembering it wrong?  now it's going straight
into the message composition buffer with the group under the point
being the one in the Newsgroup header.  me don't like.  how does one
get the old behavior back?

No, but that's gone.

You can't.  However, the Newsgroups line lets you complete over the
available group names.  Just remove the group and type in the new one,
using `TAB' to complete.

...almost.

Evidently, you only get to use TAB once (or never, if you have the bad
luck to have a *Completions* buffer already), then I run into this:

------------------------------
Signalling: (buffer-read-only #<buffer "*Completions*">)
  erase-buffer()
  message-expand-group()
  #<compiled-function (from "message.elc") nil "...(13)" [message-newgroups-header-regexp mail-abbrev-mode-regexp mail-abbrev-in-expansion-header-p message-expand-group tab-to-tab-stop] 1 "Expand group names in Newsgroups and Followup-To headers.\nDo a `tab-to-tab-stop' if not in those headers." nil>()
  call-interactively(message-tab)
------------------------------

Unfortunately when I use TAB completion, 99% fo the time I use it more
than once successivley.

This is using XEmacs; does GNU Emacs behave differently?

Yup.

You could always use "M-> a" to get the old behaviour back.  I was
half tempted to document this, uh, feature when adding this.  :-)

It isn't.  I was using Emacs 19.29.93, which is the pre-release Emacs
19.30. 

On the next episode of Gnus, we'll learn how to make whales sing.
