What's the "right" way to remove a group? I've had some difficulty
in the past and I'm reluctant to go editing .newsrc.eld files :-)
I did a bunch of work to get a mail archiving scheme in place
and there are some "leftover" nnml: and nnfolder: groups from my
testing lying around that I'd like to completely eradicate.
Cheers,
norm

C-u G DEL in the Group buffershould do the trick as far as I'm
aware. I've certainly used it in the past ...

There is a case where above doesn't work. That is, when the nnml group in
group buffer does not exist in ~/Mail. This can happen if you've
deleted groups by hand or inadvertantly. In this case C-u G del will
just give a message to the effect that the group doesn't exist, and
the group listing will remain in group buffer forever (I think).
A group in that category can be "killed" and will disappear ( C-k ).
