It is weird. nnmh-request-group should be called, because gnus-request-group is called before gnus-parse-active is called. > I did some feeble debugging of my own, though. :) Dunno wether I'm > on the correct track or not.

Maybe this is a problem. If gnus-request-group is called without dont-check argument, it should insert something into nntp-server-buffer. ShengHuo
