Yes. I don't mind the long names all that much, though. What I do mind is that I can't add a new newsgroup by just pressing `j RET'. > I don't know off hand if you can have servers with different > backends but the same name, but in that case you could have a setup > like > > (setq gnus-select-method '(nnnil "") > gnus-secondary-select-methods > '((nnml "") > (nntp "" (nntp-address "news.example.com")))) > > to be able to refer to both nnml:mail.spam and nntp:gnu.emacs.gnus. > I just suck it up and use the long name; tab-completion is easy. That's exactly the problem: I *don't* have tab completion for any new group on that server. I get it only for existing groups, adding new groups is harder.
