nndraft:drafts misbehaving

[Arcady Genkin]

I've deleted a whole bunch of stale messages from the `drafts' group
using "B Del".  Now nndraft:drafts group is not working properly.  If
I check it with "M-g", it reports 58 new articles.  However, I cannot
enter it.  Whichever way I try to enter it ("Enter", "C-u Enter", "1
Enter"), the number of unread messages is reset to 0, and Gnus would
skip going into it (just like it would do with an empty group).

I tried saving some messages into the group ("C-c C-d" on a message),
but this has not changed anything.

I also tried killing it with "C-k" from the Group buffer, but when I
restarted Gnus, the problem persists.

Any ideas?  I'm using Gnus 5.8.8 with Xemacs 21.4.3.
Many thanks,

You've got to get rid of the entry for your draft groups in the active file by
hand.

When I had that problem, deleting the entry for the draft group from
News/cache/active solved it.
