> 1.  What use is the string "private" in the gnus-select-method?

It is a name used for displaying (and entering) group names.  Suppose
you wanted to separate work from other mail, then you could have the
same group on two servers, say nnml+work:foo and nnml+play:foo.

I just use the empty string, though, so I get group names like
nnml:foo.

Beware: I'm using nnml as a secondary select method; I'm not sure what
the group names will be when using a named primary select method.
