Prefixes are already configurable, and should remain so. I can't remember how I did it, but I got rid of the prefixes for groups on my secondary server. Unless you subscribe to the same group on multiple servers, this doesn't introduce ambiguity. Maybe elements of gnus-select-methods could have a face element, so that the group buffer could indicate which groups belong to which server, but without taking up extra space. Or maybe not. paul
