Evil things with .overview

Evil things with .overview

I have a large admin/sent folder, collecting all of my letters and
missives.  I haven't gone through and filed these away since the Summary 
buffer just says that all the messages are from me.  That's not real
helpful.  Well, I'm working on a way that combines BBDB and group
variables to give me a folder name automatically so that it accumulates
in the right place.

I want to clear out my admin/sent folder but in a less painful fashion.
Then it occurred to me that the Summary buffer simply consists of what's 
in the .overview file.  That's why the To: can't show up.  Well, it's
generated locally, so I could put the To: line in there instead.

So, if the .overview files doesn't correspond to From: lines to the
messages, will the Summary buffer just have the wrong info or will I
blow Gnus bovine mind?

Thanks,
  Darren

There probably won't be any negative effects if you do this.
