the behavior is the same for both, but during newscan only. (index reader seems to temporarily change the group so MG displays correctly.. standard reader can't read outside the current group at all except for new scans)

i thought it would work like this:

General Base -> g2 -> SomeNet -> !MG shows SomeNet while newscan is currently in General Base.

(i know.. i already see a caveat regarding my multi-grouped Netmail base.. duno how to handle that other than perhaps matching the message's netmail address to a group name or something)

i've seen other boards include the network name inside the base name.. maybe this is why :) unfortunately that would make the index reader look quite unpleasant i think.
