Gnus computes the thousand by subtracting > the smallest article number from the largest. ok, but this is a bit unpleasant when a folder (like my inbox) has 3 messages, with numbers, say, 3, 45, 1422... it also makes completely useless the question "how many articles" when i use insert old articles: i say 1, it adds 0 messages: i should say, in the example, about 1400. can i periodically tell gnus to restart from zero, or i must, in the example above, delete messages 3 and 45 to have a better guess of message numbers? > Hm.
