I can use 'j nndraft:delayed' and the following line is inserted into
"*Group*":

 K     *: nndraft:delayed

It does:

$ ls -al ~/News/drafts
total 8

Was 'nndraft:delayed' the correct string to give?

Sorry for the confusion, I meant 'grep' in a symbolic sense (had
actually used C-s).  That's a good point to bring up though for future
reference.  I had forgotten how long the .newsrc.eld lines were.
