Subject: foreign group names are ugly
Date: 07 Jun 1996 23:10:51 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <sq4pw7bc7no.fsf@duality.gnu.ai.mit.edu> (raw)
I don't like the way foreign groups are always displayed with the `nn...:'
prefix.
I realize that it's necessary to disambiguate cases of duplicate group names
between two different backends -- however, I would like to be able to specify
which backend is the default `pretty' one for a particular group.
So, for most groups, the main nntp backend would be the default, and any
identically named groups using another backend would get the appropiate
backend-specific prefix. However, if I read mail with gnus, I'd like to be
able to say that groups matching the regexp "^mail\." are displayed with no
prefix only when they belong to the nnfoo+blah backend (and of course groups
matching "^ding\." would be associated prettily with the nndir+... backend
via which I read this list....
Is this possible with the current design of gnus?
-Miles
