How to hide the mail backend in the groups buffer?

How to hide the mail backend in the groups buffer?

[Peter Wu]

I use gnus to handle emails. The group buffer looks like this.

         0: nndraft:drafts 
         0: nndraft:queue 
         0: nnfolder+archive:sent 
         0: nnmaildir:inbox 


How can I hide the mail backends so that the buffer will look like:

         0: drafts 
         0: queue 
         0: sent 
         0: inbox 

TIA.

You need to modify the variable gnus-group-line-format. Mine is currently set
to "%M%S%p%P%5y:%B%(%G%)%l %O\n". I only changed the lowercase g to an
uppercase G, which does exactly what you want.

I think changing gnus-group-line-format to use %G rather than %g
should do it.

Heh, I'd forgotten how much the %g annoyed me. Thanks from me too :
looks much better. The more you know the more you can learn :-;
