But there should be commands to create these group params automatically. I envision putting point over the address of the list and typing `M-x gnus-add-mailing-list', which would then ask (and/or guess) what type of mailing list it is (LISTSERV, Majordomo, etc.) and then prompt away, giving reasonable defaults, and then adding this to the params. Anyone want to implement this? You'd have to know the un/subscription rules for most major mailing list software. Hm. Perhaps commands for un/suspending lists would also be nice? -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) larsi@gnus.org * Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen
