Where is the highwater mark kept!?

[Norman Walsh <ndw@nwalsh.com>]

I'm running Oort v0.04 from CVS of...looks like about 26 January.

I had a sparsely populated nnml group that was taking *forever* to process,
so I went and did the "renumbering trick":

1. Enter misc, mark all messages (1-14921, sparse), B c to misc.ren, exit
2. C-u G del to delete misc and all its contents
3. Enter misc.ren, mark all messages (1-1321, dense, hooray!), B c to misc
4. Make sure everything seems ok
5. C-u G del misc.ren

All's well...except that nnml:misc keeps getting assigned a
"highwater" mark of 14921 so I don't get to see any new mail for a
*long* time.

I dug around. I changed 14921 to "1300" in ~/.newsrc.eld and
~/Mail/misc/.marks but it still keeps changing back to 14921. Where
the heck is it stored!?

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
