But 'y' and 'm' are not part of the current standard (except in the
deluded minds of whoever wrote the Collabra server).
OTOH, the suggestion is interesting. Would the naive implementation (i.e.
copy '=newgroup' into the active file) actually work without further ado?
If so, it might be worth further investigation.
