I just tried this (actually I `B m'ed some articles from one nnml group to another which didn't yet exist). Gnus asked me if I wanted to create the group so I said yes, and I saw the messages like Jack indicated. Now I press `F' but it does not let me see the group. `j' followed by the new group's name does, and shows that it was killed, so I subscribe to it. Now the new group /looks/ like any other, but I can't enter it (can't select group). It's an nnml group, so I do nnml-generate-nov-databases and that thinks for a while. Now the directory ~/Mail/mynewgroup has the messages and an .overview file but still I can't select the group. What magic is needed ? (I know that if I restart gnus something occurs which lets me read the group) As Jack suggests, shouldn't creating a new group default to subscribing to it, too? Paul
