Ahh, I remembered:

1) How do you _delete_ groups completely? I can't seem to remove a
   group permanently from the .newsrc.eld file and from the disk. I
   have to edit the file manually to get rid of it.

2) I start writing a message to a foreign group and decide to save it
   in the draft buffer. When I later go back and try to send it, it
   tries to send the message to the main server, thus failing to send
   it. Perhaps the draft should include not only the news group but
   also the method?

In the menu: Groups -> Foreign Groups -> Delete Group
With prefix arg (i.e. C-u), this also deletes the messages themselves.

Ahh, that helps. The G <del> that I have gotten two suggestions about
(and which I knew about earlier) doesn't work for nntp-groups, which
is where my problem was.

You can't take it with you -- especially when crossing a state line.

What about `gnus-post-method'?  It works for the agent...

Nope, doesn't work for drafts.  Argh!!!

Hi,

1) when i compose an 8-bit message and press C-d, and it goes to
   drafts, it is stored in mule encoding (and is not shown correctly
   unless i press C-u g). (i think it is known, but not yet solved?)

2) when i followup to some newsgroup for which i wish non-encoded
   8-bit headers (subject), all goes fine. But when i compose a new
   message for that newsgroup with 8-bit subject, the subject is put
   in encoded-word encodeing.

	Best regards, -- Vladimir.
