But that's up to you. And that could fit in a single variable `gnus-methods', no need for two variables. And the rest of the Gnus code would be a lot clearer. :) Or we just force every methods to have a prefix, so we only handle something that looks like current secondary methods? w> Nooo.

I understand that. :-D Well, so using the method type to decide is probably still the best. > I've fixed is differently, but I'm wondering whether to get rid of > gnus-options-subscribe and/or gnus-auto-subscribed-groups and/or > gnus-options-not-subscribe.
