Subject: hacking the .eld file b/c virtual groups are "read-only servers"
Date: Mon, 08 Oct 2012 21:52:39 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <f58d0f0589968f0b71a63713dacd34e1@msgid.frell.theremailer.net> (raw)
I've tried to make changes to the virtual groups in the *Server*
buffer, and I'm blocked because virtual groups are seen as "read-only"
servers. I cannot kill a group (how do you remove one?), and cannot
edit a virtual group either.
So I have resorted to editing the *.newsrc.eld file.
I've been burnt with this approach. After simplifying some of the
"nnvirtual" regular expressions so that many groups with a common
string are matched, e.g.
{nnvirtual:^$\|\(^alt\.usenet$\)\|\(^alt\.culture\.usenet$\)}
becomes:
{nnvirtual:^$\|usenet}
I get strange results, like gnus never finding new messages.
