Renaming an nnml backend

Renaming an nnml backend

[Jake Colman]

I created a secondary-select-method using (nnml "foo") and have several
mailboxes associated with it.  I now want to change the name of the nnml
backend to something else.  What is the easiest way to move all may existing
groups from the old named backend to the new one?

Edit the .newsrc.eld file, I guess.

So what exactly did you have to tweak?
