How is it supposed to be used? I think it isn't used at all?!? I looked at nnmbox-, nnfolder-, nnml-, and nnimap-request-create-group. These functions don't use the ARGS argument. I looked at gnus-request-create-group which presumably calls these functions. It just passes on its own ARGS parameter. I then looked for callers of gnus-request-create-group. None passed ARGS, except for gnus-group-make-group, which passes on its own ARGS parameter. I then looked for callers of gnus-group-make-group. The ARGS parameter was not used. [time passes] OK, now I searched for all occurrences of -request-create-group, and the ARGS parameter was not used in calls, except for functions which just passed on their own ARGS parameter. I think that this means that ARGS is not used. Is anybody adventurous enough to try deleting it? If it works, submit a patch, then it will be deleted from the Gnus sources. (This job can be done by anybody, I think, no Lisp experience required. Just a good backup of your mail :-) kai -- Symbol's function definition is void: signature
