If that fails as well, Gnus will try to use the machine running Emacs
as an @acronym{NNTP} server. That's a long shot, though.
-@vindex gnus-nntp-server
-If @code{gnus-nntp-server} is set, this variable will override
-@code{gnus-select-method}. You should therefore set
-@code{gnus-nntp-server} to @code{nil}, which is what it is by default.
-
-@vindex gnus-secondary-servers
-@vindex gnus-nntp-server
-You can also make Gnus prompt you interactively for the name of an
-@acronym{NNTP} server. If you give a non-numerical prefix to @code{gnus}
-(i.e., @kbd{C-u M-x gnus}), Gnus will let you choose between the servers
-in the @code{gnus-secondary-servers} list (if any). You can also just
-type in the name of any server you feel like visiting. (Note that this
-will set @code{gnus-nntp-server}, which means that if you then @kbd{M-x
-gnus} later in the same Emacs session, Gnus will contact the same
-server.)
-
@findex gnus-group-browse-foreign-server
@kindex B (Group)
However, if you use one @acronym{NNTP} server regularly and are just
new articles. @xref{NNTP marks}, for more information.

-If no startup files exist (@pxref{Startup Files}), Gnus will try to
-determine what groups should be subscribed by default.
-
-@vindex gnus-default-subscribed-newsgroups
-If the variable @code{gnus-default-subscribed-newsgroups} is set, Gnus
-will subscribe you to just those groups in that list, leaving the rest
-killed. Your system administrator should have set this variable to
-something useful.
-
-Since she hasn't, Gnus will just subscribe you to a few arbitrarily
-picked groups (i.e., @samp{*.newusers}). (@dfn{Arbitrary} is defined
-here as @dfn{whatever Lars thinks you should read}.)
-
-You'll also be subscribed to the Gnus documentation group, which should
-help you with most common problems.
-
-If @code{gnus-default-subscribed-newsgroups} is @code{t}, Gnus will just
-use the normal functions for handling new groups, and not do anything
-special.

more meant for setting some ground rules, while the other variable is
used more for user fiddling. By default this variable makes all new
groups that come from mail back ends (@code{nnml}, @code{nnbabyl},
-@code{nnfolder}, @code{nnmbox}, @code{nnmh}, and @code{nnmaildir})
-subscribed. If you don't like that, just set this variable to
-@code{nil}.
-
-New groups that match this regexp are subscribed using
+@code{nnfolder}, @code{nnmbox}, @code{nnmh}, @code{nnimap}, and
+@code{nnmaildir}) subscribed. If you don't like that, just set this
+variable to @code{nil}.
+
+@vindex gnus-auto-subscribed-categories
+As if that wasn't enough, @code{gnus-auto-subscribed-categories} also
+allows you to specify that new groups should be subcribed based on the
+category their select methods belong to. The default is @samp{(mail
+post-mail)}, meaning that all new groups from mail-like backends
+should be subscribed automatically.
+
+New groups that match these variables are subscribed using
@code{gnus-subscribe-options-newsgroup-method}.
