Example: I browse a foreign server, subscribe to some groups and even edit the server vars. All that stuff of course is stored in eld. At some point now, I decide to add that server to my secondaries, thus making those eld entries redundant. Afaik, Gnus itself does not clean that now redundant stuff out (correct me if I'm wrong), but I'd still like to do it, to keep that file lean and mean. Question hence: how to? Thanks, Bruno.
