Hmm, I guess I can't either, anymore. On the other hand, I'm also now
not able to find a subscription level that both leaves the group
visible and doesn't retrieve mail on my regular nnml server.

I just updated gnus from git, btw.

Good to know that's what it is meant to look like! I ran
nnamirix-purge-old-groups and it deleted old search groups, but none of
the mirrored groups from my regular nnml server. Those are still there
(and still showing up in gnus-group-jump-to-group).

Thanks very much!
