Below are some group mode commands for making and editing general foreign
groups, as well as commands to ease the creation of a few
special-purpose groups. All these commands insert the newly created
groups under point---gnus-subscribe-newsgroup-method
is not
consulted.
gnus-group-make-group
). Gnus will prompt you
for a name, a method and possibly an address. For an easier way
to subscribe to NNTP groups (see section 2.14 Browse Foreign Server).
gnus-group-rename-group
). This is valid only on some
groups--mail groups mostly. This command might very well be quite slow
on some back ends.
gnus-group-customize
).
gnus-group-edit-group-method
).
gnus-group-edit-group-parameters
).
gnus-group-edit-group
).
gnus-group-make-directory-group
).
gnus-group-make-help-group
).
gnus-group-make-archive-group
). By
default a group pointing to the most recent articles will be created
(gnus-group-recent-archive-directory
), but given a prefix, a full
group will be created from gnus-group-archive-directory
.
gnus-group-make-kiboze-group
).
See section 6.7.2 Kibozed Groups.
nneething
back end (gnus-group-enter-directory
).
See section 6.6.2 Anything Groups.
gnus-group-make-doc-group
). If you give a prefix to this
command, you will be prompted for a file name and a file type.
Currently supported types are mbox
, babyl
,
digest
, news
, rnews
, mmdf
, forward
,
rfc934
, rfc822-forward
, mime-parts
,
standard-digest
, slack-digest
, clari-briefs
,
nsmail
, outlook
, oe-dbx
, and mailman
. If
you run this command without a prefix, Gnus will guess at the file
type. See section 6.6.3 Document Groups.
gnus-useful-groups
(gnus-group-make-useful-group
).
gnus-group-make-web-group
). If you give a prefix to this
command, make a solid group instead. You will be prompted for the
search engine type and the search string. Valid search engine types
include google
, dejanews
, and gmane
.
See section 6.4.2 Web Searches.
If you use the google
search engine, you can limit the search
to a particular group by using a match string like
`shaving group:alt.sysadmin.recovery'.
gnus-group-delete-group
). If given a prefix, this function will
actually delete all the articles in the group, and forcibly remove the
group itself from the face of the Earth. Use a prefix only if you are
absolutely sure of what you are doing. This command can't be used on
read-only groups (like nntp
group), though.
nnvirtual
group
(gnus-group-make-empty-virtual
). See section 6.7.1 Virtual Groups.
nnvirtual
group
(gnus-group-add-to-virtual
). Uses the process/prefix convention.
See section 6. Select Methods, for more information on the various select methods.
If gnus-activate-foreign-newsgroups
is a positive number,
Gnus will check all foreign groups with this level or lower at startup.
This might take quite a while, especially if you subscribe to lots of
groups from different NNTP servers. Also see section 2.6 Group Levels;
gnus-activate-level
also affects activation of foreign
newsgroups.
