Subject: bug#9410: Manual should clearly define "group name"
Date: Tue, 30 Aug 2011 11:38:21 -0800
Many times when customizing things for Gnus I have a pattern to match
groups, but it's never entirely clear to me against what the pattern
will be matched.  Will it be <method>+<server>:<group>, or simply
<group>?  Is the answer different depending on whether <method> is a
primary or secondary select method?  A general policy should be spelled
out in the manual, and IMO you should consider adding cross-references
each time group names or group name regexps come up.

Thanks
