Hm. I doubt Gnus would be intrusive enough to, e.g., dig into each group's parameters, look for a posting-style, find a "Gcc" entry, and rewrite it simply because I changed a group's server. Nor would I want Gnus to be that intrusive, since it'd almost certainly go wrong sometimes. > Along with `G e', one could also change the group name. Is `G E' > necessary for that or is there another way? [G E] is the only way I know of. But is it safe to do that while Gnus is running? Even if you exit Gnus immediately afterwards, there could be exit hooks, etc., that expect an unprefixed group name. paul
