Using group parameters in group buffer?

Using group parameters in group buffer?

[Jinhyok Heo]

I enter summary buffer when I want to use group parameters. Can group
parameters be used in group buffer before entering summary buffer?

Group parameters are valid only in summary buffer, right? I think
it'll be more convenient if I can use them in group buffer.

I just guess that group parameters can be determined from the location
of the cursor in group buffer.

Any idea?

'G p' edits group parameters from the group buffer.

'G c' customizes them.

You got me wrong.

I didn't mean to edit or customize group parameters in the group
buffer.  I think it's not possible to do it in the summary buffer,
right?

I meant I wanted to *use* the parameters.

For example, if I set ((to-list . "ding@gnus.org")) on ding list and
am going to hit 'a' to use it, I have to be in the summary buffer of
ding list.  I think it'll be more convenient if it can be done in the
group buffer also.

Try `C-u a'.
