"Virtual group" in this context refers to a temporary group holding the
results of the nnir search.

Well,... I can't answer that.

For nnir what it does is to move out of the group and into to the group
the article was found in, and show the article there. In the group it
belongs to, it can be replied to with the appropriate sender address,
and have its tick marks changed.

I can't answer that either.
