Hmm, not sure I understand why it should be nnfolder+private or
private.

If I to G m in the Group buffer it prompts me for name and then select
method.

Group name: foo
Select Method: nnml

creates a group "*: nnml:foo".  If I then exit Gnus and restart gnus I
get another group, "*: nnfolder+private: foo", in addition to my
original group "nnml:foo", with no addition to my ~/Mail/active file
other than foo.  This wasn't the behavior in Gnus 5.6.45.  With the
same secondary select method in both versions.

If you're saying that based on my select method I should type in a
name other than what I want the name of the group to be, I'd have to
disagree.  A name should just be a label and if Gnus needs something
in addition to what I want to call it, it should add it itself when
the group is newly created not after starting a second time.

Now, I'm certain that other people are creating groups so it's highly
possible that I just don't understand what I'm doing, but having just
come from 5.6.45 there's a feature that others are already used to
that new users of pgnus won't understand.
