Hi -
I had a nasty crash as Oort Gnus v0.06 (CVS 2002 02 02) was
getting mail, and ended up with lost state for my most important
mail group. I was able to recover a recent .marks file for it,
and after some experimentation, I've gotten things back to mostly
normal.
Is there some not-obvious-to-me easy way of getting .newsrc.eld
to accept the backend's marks as canonical? Is this documented?
(I readily accept that post-big-crash stress may have caused me to
overlook such things).
Interesting maybe-bug: if an nnml group's .marks file differs
from the .newsrc.eld, and one enters the group without selecting
all the articles, state for all the unselected articles is lost
from the .marks file.
Sean.
