It would involve reworking quite a bit of Gnus. So the answer to your question is "fairly hard". Still that hasn't stopped Lars or Gnus in the past. And this would actually simplify a whole lot of the code, all groups could be treated the same without all the conversions and special cases to convert to fully qualified groups. cwitty@newtonlabs.com (Carl R.
