Entering these groups is fast, as for subscribed groups. (Entering killed or zombie groups is slower.) In a way, unsubscribed groups are just like subscribed ones, only hidden. Zombie groups come into play when you don't want to subscribe new newsgroups, but you still want a way to distinguish groups that newly arrived on the server. You tell Gnus to subscribe new groups as zombies, then you type `A z' every once in a while, and subscribe the (new) groups that you like and kill the rest. kai -- This gubblick contains many nonsklarkish English flutzpahs, but the overall pluggandisp can be glorked from context. -- David Moser
