The patch you committed had some problems, IMHO:
- (format "foo" "bar" var1 var2) is not valid, should be
(format "foo bar" var1 var2).
- The warning is not easy to read in the echo area and there should be
a more forceful warning.
- The problem that we were discussing was only the character `/' in
IMAP groups. I don't think it's a good idea to let the user create
_any_ invalid group, e.g. with [: `'\"] and even empty group names.
I have changed `gnus-read-group' in CVS now. Please speak up if there
are any problems or objections concerning this change.
Bye, Reiner.
