Recently I've had an nnml group show up in group buffer that I don't
remember creating. It shows:
3560: nnml:help
When I click on it I get this message:
Couldn't request group nnml:help: Invalid group (no such directory)
In this case C-u G del won't work so I used C-k. After closing and
opening gnus a few times the group comes back. Looking the same as before.
Thinking it may be a long forgotten split rule I tried:
`grep 'help' ~/.gnus' <no hits>

This is one of the groups created by the gnus-group-create-useful-group
function (cf variable gnus-useful-groups). It should actually be an nndoc
group pointing at the file gnus-tut.txt.

Do you have a '~/Mail/help' directory which could give some clue?

No... I checked that before posting:
find ~/Mail -type f -name '*help*' -print <no hits>

Has Lars added 3551 new messages? (he he)
I thought of that too, so before posting I opened the help group with
the normal `G h'. It opened as an nndoc group as expected. I then
deleted (C-k) this strange ghost "help" group.
I often get News and Mail with a short batch script and keep a log of
the activity. Watching that log I see the ghost "help" group being
subscribed to in the messages:
Reading active file via nnml...

Opening nnfolder server on archive...
Reading active file from archive via nnfolder...
Reading active file from archive via nnfolder...done
*Subscribe newsgroup: nnml:help*
7 new newsgroups have arrived

Yeah, that was a typo I acutally ran -type d and plain '
'find Mail -name help ' There is no such directory in Mail or news
yet every time I kill it it gets resubscribed next time I do a batch fetch.
