Well, the skip-filter feature is really for blanket-masking of large numbers
of groups rather than a case-by-case subscription feature, which is why it's
text-based (pattern matching in this case), and a special advantage of that
approach is that it automatically masks out new groups in areas you've
masked. For example, if you're filtering out all ".loc" groups, then any
new one would be automatically filtered as well.
However, there will be an actual "subscribe to this group" (and optionally
its subgroups) type of feature through the web interface, which will do what
you want and more...but it won't be ready for a while. (And yes, I plan to
put in so-called "kill-filing" at that same time as well, or at least
something that lowers/raises the priority/visibility of messages to you based
on criteria you specify, which may be groups or posters or other things.)
