How do I list all groups by default

[Angelina Carlton]

Hello

I am trying Gnus for the first time and wish to list all my
subscribed groups, particularly the email ones prefixed by
"nnml"

In my .gnus.el I have tried: 

(setq gnus-permanently-visible-groups
     '(("nnml")))

But got an "invalid" regex error. 

Then I tried by way of group parameters:

(setq gnus-parameters
         '(("^nnml.*"               ;; does this not match anything
         (visible . t)              ;; beginning with nnml?  
         (charset . utf-8)
         (subscribed . t)
         (expiry-wait . never)
         (display . 200))
      
         ;; Mail from emms
         ("^nnml.*emms.*"
         (to-address . "emms-help@gnu.org")
         (to-list . "emms-help@gnu.org")         
         (subscribed . t)
         (expiry-wait . never)
         (display . 200)
         (charset . utf-8)
         (visible . t))
      
         ;; Mail from emacs        
         ("^nnml.*emacs.*"
         (to-address . "help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org")
         (to-list . "help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org")    
         (subscribed . t)
         (expiry-wait . never)
         (display . 200)
         (charset . utf-8)
         (visible . t)))) 

Neither of these work and I have to press L to see all my mail folders
Not a big deal, but if its possible I would like to see them no matter
how many messages each group contains, if any.

Thank you..
