84This normally finds new newsgroups by comparing the active groups the
85servers have already reported with those Gnus already knows, either alive
86or killed.
87
88When any of the following are true, gnus-find-new-newsgroups will instead
89ask the servers (primary, secondary, and archive servers) to list new
90groups since the last time it checked:
91 1. This variable is `ask-server'.
92 2. This variable is a list of select methods (see below).
93 3. `gnus-read-active-file' is nil or `some'.
94 4. A prefix argument is given to gnus-find-new-newsgroups interactively.
95
96Thus, if this variable is `ask-server' or a list of select methods or
97`gnus-read-active-file' is nil or `some', then the killed list is no
98longer necessary, so you could safely set `gnus-save-killed-list' to nil.
99
100This variable can be a list of select methods which Gnus will query with
101the `ask-server' method in addition to the primary, secondary, and archive
102servers.
103
104Eg.
105 (setq gnus-check-new-newsgroups
106 '((nntp \"some.server\") (nntp \"other.server\")))
