So gnus-secondary-select-methods can be a list of items, and each item can be a select method or a server name. I think it would be clearer if Gnus accepted the "nnml:foo" strings instead of just server names in gnus-secondary-select-methods. (You can do stuff like (add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods '(nnml "")), but you can also define a foreign server x and then do (add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods "x"). At least rumor has it that this is supposed to work. I think this second method makes it clearer that foreign and secondary servers are quite similar.) kai -- Silence is foo!
