I tried every possible combination you proposed.

It seems to be static (i.e. not being modified by Gnus).

I have to add every group I want to have a look at, each time I start
Gnus:

* gnu.emacs.gnus
* comp.sys.hp48
* gnu.emacs.help
* nnml:mail.misc
etc,

and it quickly becomes tedious.

Thanks for any help.

$ cat .newsrc.eld
