Yes, it turned out to be the agent that did this. It doesn't actually create the group, it just sort-of puts it in the groups list. But it doesn't "work" properly. I guess it's to do with not being able to validate group names while offline. > You might want to try using G m to create the group. G m is exactly what I want. If it's any consolation, I'm probably as sick of asking dumb questions like this as the group is of answering them :-) I *swear* I spent ages searching for this, in the help, the menus, and the manual. I'll go and beat myself with something hard now, as a penance. > I use nnml as my primary select method, and it works fine.
