group parameter set to nil?

group parameter set to nil?

[Jack Vinson]

I just created a new group that I expect to delete in a few weeks.  For my
permanent groups, that I want to treat specially I set up some code in the
gnus-summary-generate-hook.  This includes setting
gnus-thread-hide-subtree.  Unfortunately, it does not seem possible to set
this to nil in the group parameters.  If I do this and then check the value
in the summary buffer it is still 't, the default.

Is my only option for setting this variable in a hook somewhere?  I was
hoping to avoid doing this in .gnus because the group is going away soon.

Thanks

I don't think anything is setting that variable, so it should be
possible to set it to nil in the group parameters,,,

This is no longer a problem.  I think the problem was that I didn't know
_how_ to set the variable.  One can set any variable at the end of the
customization screen.  I just didn't understand that is what I could do.
