changing default group parameters?

changing default group parameters?

[Bill White]

Pterodactyl Gnus v0.69,
GNU Emacs 20.3.1 (i586-unicent-linux-gnu, X toolkit) of Thu Aug 20
1998 on banshee

Is there a way to have all newly-created groups (via B-m to a
non-existent name, or via G-m) to have the following parameters
by default: 

((display . all)
 (visible . t))

I'm looking into creating a bug database using topics, groups, levels,
etc. and I want all those groups to be visible all the time with all
messages visible. The messages in a group are emails about the bug
represented by the group.

Many thanks -

Perhaps you could place all the group under a topic, and set the topic 
parameters to the desired values?

You can assign parameters to topics, and these will be inherited by
the groups in the topic.

I don't know what happens if a group is in two topics with conflicting
parameters.
