Destructive nature of gnus-summary-mail-forward

[Arcady Genkin]

It seems that `S o m' in summary buffer deletes the forwarded article
(at least in my imap group).  Is this intended behavior?

If it is, I think that this should be reflected in the documentation.
I have been noticing that some important messages have been
dissappearing from my private mail group, and only today did I
discover that the common thing about those dissappearances is that I
forwarded those messages at one point.

Also, if the deletion of articles is intentional, then I would like to
point out an inconsistency in visual clues.  Compare to cancelling an
article or deleting one --- the article's info is displayed in black
after the operation to indicate that it's gone now.  After `S o m' the
article appears to still be there and accessible.

I don't think so.  I can't reproduce that though.

Could you (setq imap-log "*imap-log*") and mail me the content of the
*imap-log* buffer after doing S o m, quiting a group, re-enter it and
verify your article is gone?

I use this feature all the time, but I've never seen it delete an
article.

I apologize to the list for the waste of bandwidth.  It was an
expiry-related misconfiguration on my part.

It seemed that the only common property that the dissappeared messages
shared was that I forwarded them; I was wrong.  It took me an hour to
pin-point my mistake...  Grrr...
