Thanks, I'll try it in a moment.

No. The *Gnus Browse Server* {nnml:Email} buffer. This never happens in
the group buffer.

Yes. I have these lines in the active file:
stéphane 10 1 y
stéphane 1 1 y
stéphane 1 1 y
stéphane 8 1 y

But encodings don't differ: everything is utf-8.

How? Just "cp stéphane/* tmp" ?

Some further information:

- After restarting Gnus, I've seen all 10 messages in the summary
  buffer. But later, when creating the summary buffer once again, there
  were only 8 messages

- It happens *always* with every group that has accented characters.
  Other examples from the *Gnus Browse Server* buffer:

U      7: jérôme
U      3: jérôme
U      2: jérôme
U      4: jérôme
U      4: jérôme
U      5: jérôme
U      3: jürgen
U      3: jürgen
U      3: jürgen
U      3: jürgen
U      3: jürgen
U      3: jürgen
U     19: valérie
U     12: valérie
U      7: valérie
U     13: valérie
U     13: valérie
U     18: valérie

No... :(
