Even when new groups get subscribed there is the possibility of them getting lost. I didn't make this clear in my first response. Lars> Yes, new nnml groups should be automatically subscribed. The Lars> `gnus-auto-subscribed-groups' matches groups to be subscribed. If Lars> this doesn't work, report it with `M-x gnus-bug'. Assuming the user is using Topics, what Topic are new groups subscribed into? What can be done to customize this? I cannot find the answers to these questions in the User's Manual. It might be useful to have a Gnus-defined Topic named ``Newly Created Groups'', where all new groups go into when initially subscribed. If Novice mode is selected, it probably shouldn't be allowed to be folded (or at least required to be visible when Gnus is [re]started). Considering that the norm will be (if not already) the user having access to 10s of thousands newsgroups, the mechanism for placement of newly subscribed groups will have to be as carefully done as mail splitting is done now. As an aside: Although not bug free, the current implementation of Topics is quite good, and at least an order of magnitude more useful than the original Gnus 5 implementation. I can hardly wait until I get my hands on drag & drop XEmacs to play around with Group/Topic maintenance :-). -- steve@miranova.com baur Unsolicited commercial e-mail will be proofread for $250/hour.
