7.3.2. Multiple Groups
If the two names ends with the character sequence ".*", the newgroup
message requests that a whole (sub)hierarchy be moved. The same
procedure as for single groups (7.3.1) applies to each matched group,
except that the moderation status of each old group MUST be copied to
the corresponding new group.
To avoid recursion, the new groups' names MUST NEVER match the old
groups' name pattern; i.e., moving a whole (sub)hierarchy to a
subhierarchy of the original hierarchy is explicitly disallowed.
Until most serving agents conform to this standard, whenever a
mvgroup control message for multiple groups is issued, a
corresponding set of rmgroup and newgroup control messages for all
the affected groups SHOULD be issued a few days later.
