Thanks for the hint, although it seems a rather circumstantial way to
work around the lack of a "forget what you think to know about this
group" function in gnus. ;)

The same issue was discussed before, at least once about a month ago --
see http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.gnus.user/9596 -- but there was
no solution to this, apparently.

How hard would it be to give gnus the capability to ignore what it
thinks to know about a group and force it to reread as if it were a new
group? I lack the knowledge to do so myself, but it doesn't sound like a
terribly impossible thing to do...

Regards,
Georg
