If I set this to nil, the killed newsgroups will not be saved in my
newsrc.eld file. Fine. And since I've already set
`gnus-check-new-newsgroups' to `ask-server', I'll still get an accurate
listing of all new newsgroups as they get carried by my news server. Also
fine. But if I do this how do I then see a list of all available newsgroups
if I decide I want to subscribe to something to which I am not currently
subscribed? Currently, I may not have an interest in any comp.x.* newsgroups.
What if something chages I want to see what comp.x.* newsgroups are
available? Since I routinely kill all my zombies, won't these killed groups
disappear? And, if so, how can I then see what groups are carried by my
server?
Thanks!
