I expect FQGNs probably would be less error-prone - you can't
accidentally create a new server that way, can you? But then someone
ought to change the docstring for gnus-message-archive-group;
currently, it discourages use of FQGNs.
How does gnus-outgoing-message-group relate to all this? Is it
obsoleted by g-m-a-g? Or used for something slightly different?
