There was a brief discussion about group lines on PGPNET a few months
ago. IIRC, the specifics under discussion were spaces and angle
brackets.

I don't think any conclusions were reached, but it may be worth
experimenting with

group <pgpnet at yahoogroups.com>=0x
group <pgpnet at yahoogroups.com> =0x
group <pgpnet at yahoogroups.com> = 0x
group pgpnet at yahoogroups.com=0x
group pgpnet at yahoogroups.com =0x
group pgpnet at yahoogroups.com = 0x

Experience has shown me The Bat! will only match on email address and
requires the angle brackets for the group line to work. And testing
has shown that the spaces make no difference in my current set-up. I'm
reasonably sure somebody posted that they had to remove the angle
brackets to get the group line to work on their set-up.

I don't recall whether anybody reported any significance of spaces, or
whether it was just noted that somebody else used them and I didn't,
and that each of us was just following the pattern we first saw.

I suspect if it is not "seeing" the group line, it would still not see
it. But who knows?
