gnus-group-line-format %c format questions

[Sten Drescher]

	I have a couple of questions about the %c (short [compressed]
group name) format.

	First, is it possible to adjust how 'agressively' it collapses
the name?  In 0.26, it left 2 segments of the name uncompressed, but in
0.29 it's only leaving one.  Given the number of .announce groups I have
subscribed, it gets confusing - is 't.announce' texasnet.announce or
texas.announce?  Ideally, I'd like it to observe the field width
specification (%-20c) and collapse the name from left to right until it
fits in the specified width (so that, say, comp.unix.sys5.r4 would be
left alone, but news.admin.net-abuse.misc would collapse to
n.a.net-abuse.misc, but I'd settle for being able to specify how many
segments to leave uncompressed.

	Second, is it possible to get %c to leave off the select method?

	In another question, somewhat related to my second question, is
it possible to browse your default server in order to re-add killed
groups without them showing up as foreign groups?

I've added a new variable to September 0.30 to control that:
`gnus-group-uncollapsed-levels'.

No, but you could just write your own little user-defined function for
that.

No, all groups that you subscribe to when browsing become foreign
groups.  But you could just edit the group infos to make them native.
