Is there any way to change this > behaviour? Gnus estimates the number of articles in a group based on the lowest article number and the highest article number. This estimate can be very wrong if there are holes in the numbering sequence. These holes could come from moving articles out of the group, or deleting/expiring them. Oort Gnus has a workaround for this, I believe, so that the estimate is better. -- A turnip curses Elvis
