I think you could use `gnus-split-methods' to make Gnus suggest the
rigth group when you use `B m'.

The option `gnus-gcc-externalize-attachments' controls this for sent
messages.

Yes.

You could try to find a regexp which excludes those groups.  Be
careful, though, as you'll lose mail if you don't get it right.

Yeah, I meant `gnus-move-split-methods'.

Yes, but if you switch from the default nnfolder method (which sucks
for archives in some ways), you have to be careful.
