Some people see duplicate servers (eg, "nnimap:du" twice) in their
server buffer.  One of them is a bogus server.  It was created
automatically when some groups had the wrong select method.

The obvious method to find out which one is the right one is to hit
`e', but `e' on the secondary server (from (add-to-list
'gnus-secondary-select-methods '(nnimap "du"
...parameters.snipped...))) doesn't give any useful data because
secondary servers cannot be edited.

WIBNI there was a command to at least see the parameters of such
secondary servers?

Also it would be nifty if Gnus could prevent such duplicate servers
somehow.  Ideas?
