Are you talking about things that happen when the user types g in the
group buffer, or are you talking about things that happen when the
user is sending mail?

I assume the former.

Isn't there a form that uniquely identifies a group among all the
different servers (or select methods?) that exist?  Stuff like
"nnfoo+baux:bar"?  Couldn't that be used in nnmail-split-methods?  And
would it make sense to have the nnmail-use-procmail stuff use the same
names?  And default to the old server if the server spec isn't
present, as is true currently?
