Maybe it's worth asking the user, since deletion is permanent? This is done in gnus-summary-delete-article if gnus-novice-user is set. Since that's the only occurrence of that variable in gnus-sum.el, maybe you could just set that variable in nnir groups?? Or maybe you want a customized question: "Deleting articles will delete them from the original groups. Proceed?" > A secondary question (assuming that allowing deletes is the Right Thing) > is whether or not I've implemented it correctly:) I'll let others answer this part. Dan
