Hm, yes... The prefix to `g' doesn't affect foreign groups. This might be a bug.

It's up to the backend, of course, but the idea is that `M-g', should report a "thorough" answer while `-request-list' should give a "fast" answer. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) larsi@gnus.org * Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen
