| 7 Select Methods
| ****************
|
| A “foreign group” is a group not read by the usual (or default) means.
| It could be, for instance, a group from a different NNTP server, it
| could be a virtual group, or it could be your own personal mail group.
|
| A foreign group (or any group, really) is specified by a “name” and a
| “select method”. To take the latter first, a select method is a list
| where the first element says what back end to use (e.g., ‘nntp’,
| ‘nnspool’, ‘nnml’) and the second element is the “server name”. There
| may be additional elements in the select method, where the value may
| have special meaning for the back end in question.
|
| One could say that a select method defines a “virtual server”—so we
| do just that (*note Server Buffer::).
| ETC ETC

Call me shortsighted but they look identical to me.
