Hi !
There is a part that I fail to understand in nnml-generate-nov-database-1
(when the group is empty):
(if (not files)
(let* ((group (nnheader-file-to-group
(directory-file-name dir) nnml-directory))
(info (cadr (assoc group nnml-group-alist))))
(when info
(setcar info (1+ (cdr info)))))
Can anyone explain the purpose of this ??
Thanks.

As far as I can tell, it does nothing.

Uhm... if the group is empty, but there's an entry in the
`nnml-group-alist', then this sets the entry to be `(45 . 44)'. Which
means "empty". (The highest number being lower than the highest, if
you get my drift.)
Unless I'm misreading.
