Hi

The following is odd, I moved a lot of articles from my draft group to a
backup group for which I chose the nnml backend. So my group buffer
looks

       542: nnml:draft-backup

Out of a sudden my .newsrc.eld got corrupt and I saw

       542: nnml:*

Fortunately I could recover my .newsrc.eld and everything is back to
normal.

However, I opened my server buffer using ^ in the group buffer and saw

     {nndraft:} (opened)
     {nnml:} (opened)

Now I cannot edit the nnml group and my question is how can I configure
that group in a more stable manner, so in case there is a again a
corruption of my .newsrc.eld file I can recover that in a simpler way.

Regards

Uwe Brauer

I'm not sure I quite follow you.  In what way do you want to edit the
nnml group?

Oh I wanted to say how it is configured. That is when I saw

       542: nnml:*

instead of 

       542: nnml:draft-backup

What would have been the best way to recover that error?

Usually `M-g' on a group makes it rescan/rebuild the data.
