why the '+' ?

why the '+' ?

[Justin Zaglio]

Hi!

Maybe I missed this answer a while back, but why does nnml, for
example, create two sets of groups: one with a + and one without
(e.g. nnml:mail.misc and nnml+justin:mail.misc).  I'd like to do away
with one; it doesn't matter which.  I tried setting
gnus-secondary-select-methods to '((nnml "")), but it doesn't like
this when moving articles between groups (complains about wrong types
when it expects a string and gets a nil).

Can someone shed some light on the +'s?  It doesn't break anything,
but it--at least as far as I can tell--doesn't *DO* anything either.

Thanks for your time.

Gnus has altered the functions for generating group names slightly.
If you have a server that's defined as `(nnml "justin")', the groups
will now be named "nnml+justin:whatever".  Just kill the old
(un-justiny) groups.
