this does not work. It is said that this option "Queries server for new
articles; unless display of all groups was turned on with ``toggle_list_all''
, groups without unread messages are hidden. This function also checks for new
groups if ``check_new_groups'' is on." in the file manual.txt in slrn docs.

For displaying all groups, i.e. even those I've not subscribed, I'm using the
"toggle_list_all" bound by default to "L" with a "*" in the prompt. So "G"
shouldn't do what I want. As the variable "check_new_groups" is not touched in
my config this should have the default value, i.e. "1".
For the "... groups without unread messages are hidden.", in my case I see 0
unread messages for all groups almost except those subscribed and those I
already visited once, so groups that are known to have no unread messages by
slrn are not hidden. The "l", "toggle_hidden" option does not seem to change
anything.

here is the debug output:

I have removed a lot of lines from the long list of groups as I did a
"toggle_list_all" while dumping the debug info and this resulted in a big file.
During this session I ran a "refresh_groups" before quitting, it seems clear
that this does refresh only subscribed groups.

In fact I did a "reply-To" in hotmail and it seems it took also your email.
When doing "g" in mutt it didn't put your email in the recipients list and I
was a bit surprised but didn't take the time to search why. Actually because my
mutt's config is not yet complete i did reply directly from hotmail.com where I
usually just paste my reply text I typed in mutt. That's why my text is
formatted so.
