Subject: strange behaviour when `B c'ing an empty article
Date: Wed, 06 Oct 1999 16:57:27 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <874sg46wco.fsf@chow.mat.jhu.edu> (raw)

In my nnfolder:Inbox group, I have two articles, which I have
attached below.  If I put the point on the first one, and do
`B c nnfolder:test5', I get prompted for whether I want to
create the group and I say yes.  In the resulting group,
the article incorrectly keeps its article number from the
Inbox group.  The active file thinks that the article is
number 1.

When I do the same thing with the second article attached below,
everything is fine.  Could it have to do with the fact that the
first article is empty?

Note:  Further testing shows that this has nothing to do with the fact
that the groups test5 and test6 are created in the process.  The same
error happens whenever the first article is copied to an nnfolder group.

In the following, the spaces before the "From " lines are added by a
hook I have and are not really in the files.  The blank lines *are*
in the files.

The two articles:
