Do you know the reason for this difference? I've been confused by this before and never understood why there were two places/ways to store group information. When we changed the service name for our IMAP server, I ended editing .newsrc.eld by hand. The server name was in so many places that was the only fast way to make the change. I expected it to only be in one place. I'm sure I'm missing something! :)
