Kai> I think when your secondary-select-method says (nnfolder Kai> "private"), then you should enter "private" at the G m prompt, Kai> or maybe "nnfolder+private". 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.
