Yes, the current situation is kinda yucky.

It shouldn't, but it might if there's (wow!) a bug in the new function that compares servers. Let's see... Find two groups created in this manner (that use the same server), and pick out the select methods with `G e' on the two groups. Then do (gnus-server-get-method GROUP METHOD) an both these groups (with their server) and see what it says. It should ideally return the same method for both groups. > Would going into server mode via `^' allow creation of groups with a > single virtual server? Yes. > If so, how and why does this differ from `G m' creation? `G m group RET server RET'. So it's would be less typing in the long run. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) larsi@ifi.uio.no * Lars Ingebrigtsen
