I sense that I'm missing out on some nice functionality. How does the
updated active file, new messages etc get to the unplugged
version. Probably something obvious but I've experimented a few times
with 2 running instances of gnus, also with M-x gnus-slave but must
have missed out on the right technique.

Might be a good idea if some of you old (young) hands spelled out some
of your cool tricks for us new (old) hands when time permits.
