You can configure almost anything on per group or topic (by regexp,
etc.).

Put it in some hook...

Gnus supports multiple IMAP servers and you can display several groups
at the same time as well:
,----[ (info "(gnus)Misc Article") ]
| `gnus-single-article-buffer'
| If non-`nil', use the same article buffer for all the groups.

People facing this problem often run two Emacs instances, one for
Gnus, one for the rest.
Bye, Reiner.
