I'd suggest to use the functions from `gnus-art.el' that handle
buttons like <nntp://news.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.gnus.user/8816> or
<nntp://news.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.gnus.user>:

At least in the trunk version of `gnus-button-fetch-group', you can eval
(gnus-button-fetch-group "nntp://news.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.gnus.user/8816")
directly:

`gnus-large-ephemeral-newsgroup' might also be useful.

Bye, Reiner.
