But is there a way to do this through the UI? I tried apropos-command but this command does not get listed. (gnus-subscribe-interactively "gnu.utils") I have also tried to prevent re-downloading the active file with (setq gnus-read-active-file nil) but it still downloads it when I type AA to see groups I am not subscribed to. I don't think it needs to do this, maybe it is stored somewhere or I can make it get stored somewhere?
