Better post method prompt?

Better post method prompt?

[Kai Großjohann]

After typing C-u 0 C-c C-c, you get to choose the post method, and it
seems the names are constructed like this: <servername> SPC (
<backend> )

Since my servers are called "", this means that I need to type C-q SPC
before being able to choose any post method.  A bit inconvenient.

And I wouldn't want to call my servers anything else than "" because
this leads to group names like "nnimap+foo:INBOX" (instead

Hmm, did you try just typing SPC?  Normally this should just insert the
space if there is a completion that starts with one.

OK, let's try.....

Ah, didn't know that.  Hm.  So, I type C-k to delete the default
suggestion.  Then, I type SPC.  A SPC is inserted.  Fine.  Then, I
type TAB for a list of completions.  Point moves back to beginning of
minibuffer prompt and shows completions.  I decide on a completion and
type SPC ( n n i which then gives me " (nnimap) " (note the trailing
SPC!).

Hm.

Maybe this is because of partial-completion-mode?
