(and vice-versa) Gnus add IMAP-subscribed mailboxes to *Group* automatically, I believe, but it doesn't IMAP-subscribe groups. I'm not sure how it could, it seems wrong to IMAP-subscribe any group the user opens. > I wonder if we could use IMSP to store ALL gnus configuration? now, > wouldn't that be cool?

I haven't seen many life signs from either IMSP nor ACAP recently.
