gnus-select-method is using nnnil backend.

All my NNTP groups are in the secondary "slot".

Ok. If I take this example (this message), here is what I see:

,----
| Newsgroups: gnu.emacs.gnus
| X-Draft-From: ("nntp+news.gnu-rox.org:gnu.emacs.gnus" 179)
`----

If I tell Gnus to Xpost and fu2 on say, gnu.emacs.help, I do:

C-c C-f x. 

Then I am prompted for a group (it is set to poster by default).
I then type: gnu.emacs.help and gnus still say it has no match.
If I prefix this with: "nntp+news.gnu-rox.org:", gnus says it
matches.

This is kind of annoying since I don't recall all newsgroup group
name :/ and I fear that letting the method part would break
something -i.e. what is the incidence of letting the "nntp+..."
part when sending the message ?-.
