Hmm that sounds a bit strange to me since I use newsgroups because I
don't want to be subscribed to a lot of mailing list and hence avoid
to receive tons of emails...

BTW, I tried to use mairix in gnus and I'm confused when creating a
nnmairix server  (G b c): gnus asks me for "the name of the *back end
server* where mairix should store its searches. So I created before a
nnml group which I named 'mairix'. But now I did some searches (G b s)
or permanent searches (G b g) but the group 'mairix' which I
previously created is never used... All search I did end up creating a
group named "zz_mairix-*-1".

Could you tell me what I'm missing ?

thanks
