Thank you very much. I also have used this method in the past, and it
indeed works fine.
I was just wondering whether there was a mechanism already built into
gnus which could accomplish this in a more formal manner ... something
vaguely analogous to `gnus-posting-styles', perhaps, but which operates
on the group names in the group buffer. In my spare time, maybe I
should create something that would work more or less like this ...
(setq gnus-group-abbreviations
'(("^gmane\\..*\\([^.]*\\)\\.general$"
"gmane.\\1")
("^comp\\.lang\\.\\(.*\\)$"
"lang.\\1")))
