Hm. Now that you say it... and I have looked up "options" in gnus' help, I do understand what goes on here. Yes, the new groups I'm talking about are nnfolder groups created by expiring into a group. I *do* want them to be subscribed automatically (which is what the "options" group - i.e. a one that matches the gnus-auto-subscribed-groups regexp - means, right?)... but at the same time I very much want them to be put in apropriate topics (spec'd by subscribe parameter). The two behaviors - always subscribing new groups if match certain criteria and putting newly subscribed groups in certain place - seem completely unrelated, the fact that they are kind of mutually exclusive seems broken to me. So... what is the *correct* way to do that? > > With these two fixes, it all now seems to work. > > This is NOT a fix. The topic parameters should be something like > > ((subscribe .
