What does it do? Apparently it finds a newsgroup in .newsrc with as many components as possible matching the initial components of NEWSGROUP. If there are several groups with equally many initial components, NEWSGROUP is inserted before the first group which sorts after NEWSGROUP. I think. Except that if that's what it's supposed to do, it doesn't work because it doesn't require the final component to be followed by ".", "!" or ":" in .newsrc. I think. I think it should be searching for something like this instead (unchecked). I think. (concat "^\\(" (regexp-quote groupkey) "\\(\\.[^ \n\r\t]*\\)?\\)[!:]") No, I don't really think. It's too late. G'night. Regards, Hallvard
