I figured out how to do it manually on a per-group basis, but I have a *lot* of groups. I was wondering if there was a quick way I could do it globally. I'm not opposed to hand-editing my .newsrc.el for this one-time switchover if that would work and be easiest, but I figured that that might be unsafe.
