Hi,

The following one-line patch is very useful to me.  It makes it
easy to complete group names containing uppercase letters when
copying or moving articles.

I think it is harmless to all users and wish to commit to Gnus
CVS.  Opinions?

If you want to install it[1], please make it customizable somehow.  I
have organized my mail groups using Firstname.Lastname for persons and
e.g. misc.foo (lists.baz, ...) for other stuff.  When I hit `M TAB', I
expect to see persons who's first name starts with "M" rather than
"misc.*".

[1] Couldn't you advise `gnus-completing-read-with-default'?

Bye, Reiner.

I see!  Ignoring case will force inconvenience to those who are
using uppercase letters for the special groups.  Thank you for
making me notice it.

It's possible, however it may be enough to me just to set
completion-ignore-case to t. :)  Anyway, I withdraw the proposal.
