I have a doc group which appears in the Group buffer with the long
name of
nndoc+/full/path/to/filename:.filename
How can I shorten this to say "nndoc+:filename"? I've tried editing with Gp,
GE but to no effect.
I assume I must add something to my ~/.gnus.el so I'd appreciate some
pointers as to what is required.
Thanks.
Best wishes,
Colin Baxter.

If I understand your question correctly, you can do something
like I do with group-name-map:
(setq group-name-map '(("nnimap+imap.gmail.com:INBOX" . "Inbox")
("nnimap+imap.gmail.com:[Gmail]/All Mail"
. "All Mail")
("nnimap+imap.gmail.com:[Gmail]/Sent Mail"
. "Sent Mail")
("nnimap+imap.gmail.com:[Gmail]/Drafts"
. "Drafts") ("nnimap+imap.gmail.com:teatrader"
. "Tea Trader")
.... etc. ... ))

Thank you for the reply. Your suggestion didn't work for me, but led
instead to some "try-it-and-see" work and ultimately to the
solution. All I had to do was to change the gnus-group-line-format
variable. I had used `g' - the "Qualified group name". I altered it to
'G' - the "Group name" - which gave a nicely shorted display name.
Thanks again.
Best wishes,
Colin.
