If I hit 'g' in the group buffer, this is what I get to the *Messages*: ------------------------------------------------------------------- Reading active file from private-nnml via nnml... nnml: Reading incoming mail from directory... nnml: Reading incoming mail (no new mail)...done Reading active file from private-nnml via nnml... Reading active file from private-nnml via nnml...done Checking new news... nnimap: Updating info for nnimap+xxx.xxx.xxx:yyy... [4 times] nnimap: Updating info for nnimap+xxx.xxx.xxx:yyy...done [7 times] Checking new news...done ------------------------------------------------------------------- Now, let's say that I want to re-scan just nnml groups and ignore the nnimap group, so I say 'M-3 g'. I'd expect to get about the same messages except not those nnimap ones (I also wonder a bit why it says it updates info for one nnimap group four times and finishes updating info seven times), but instead I get: ------------------------------------------------------------------- Checking new news... nnml: Reading incoming mail from directory... nnml: Reading incoming mail (no new mail)...done [the two lines above repeated 67 times] Checking new news...done ------------------------------------------------------------------- Gnus probably works correctly and I'm not saying this is a bug, but this all feels, uh, weird, and I'd just like to know what's going on.
