Hello,
Is it ok if a nn*-retrieve-headers function does not return headers for
all the requested articles?
I suspect it is (because the description of nn*-request-group says that
the returned article numbers may contain holes, and I see no other way
for the backend to communicate where the holes are), but I am not 100%
sure.
Background: I would like to improve the handling of the \Deleted flag in
the nnimap backend. As I understand, Gnus does not have a delete flag
itself, so it seems easiest to just filter out any deleted articles in
the nnimap backend.
Best,
-Nikolaus
