[...] Here's an excerpt from the Gnus manual that might answer your question: if you have Gnus check for new groups, they will be made zombies. ,---- | Why does Gnus distinguish between zombie and killed groups? Well, | when a new group arrives on the server, Gnus by default makes it a | zombie group. This means that you are normally not bothered with new | groups, but you can type `A z' to get a list of all new groups. | Subscribe the ones you like and kill the ones you don't want. (`A k' | shows a list of killed groups.) `---- -Nevin
