Gnus 5.8.3, NT Emacs and nndoc - solution

I wrote some time ago:

I solved the problem by changing appropriately the regex in
gnus-group-real-name (gnus-util.el):

 (defmacro gnus-group-real-name (group)
  "Find the real name of a foreign newsgroup."
  `(let ((gname ,group))
     (if (string-match "^[^:\\+]+\\(\\+[a-zA-Z]:\\)?[^:]+:" gname)
	 (substring gname (match-end 0))
       gname)))
