Thanks! That basically worked for me. After fiddling with the regex a little
bit to compensate for the fact that the original %G gave the simple group name
and not the full group name, here's what I've come up with for my situation:
(defun gnus-user-format-function-G (arg)
(replace-regexp-in-string
"^.*[:/]"
""
gnus-tmp-group))
(setq gnus-group-line-format "%M%S%p%P%5y: %(%uG%)%l %6,6~(cut 2)d\n")
The new regex says (I hope it says!) "Match the colon or the slash and
everything before it".
Again, thanks for the help.
