I see.  I didn't recall it since the group level of the newly
created groups is 3 by default (I use the level 1 for the mail
groups and usually do `1 g' for checking new mails, but `3 g' or
`g' takes a long time because there are many foreign groups).

I'll try it.

I've made further change.  Maybe it doesn't affect you and Emacs
users, though.  The last change I made caused XEmacs to encode
non-ASCII nnml group names doubly in the ~/Mail/active file.  So,
XEmacs users who keep track of the latest, Gnus please take a look
at the thread in the ding list:

I'm sorry to XEmacs users for inconvenience.
