Re: gnus-group-read-ephemeral-search-group -- Something Changed?

you're correct. But please keep the backward compatibility, since I
need emacspeak to work with both the released emacs 27, as well as
emacs-28 built from head which I use --- that latter is what helps me
make sure that when Emacs-28 does get released, emacspeak works out of
the box with it.Eric Abrahamsen writes:
