Um, yes, now that I look at it, this is how it is done. :-) I was
thinking of `nnchoke-request-replace-article'...
Then I wonder why this happens. Ah, yes -- if you move an article
from a nnimap group to a nnfolder group (which was the case in this
thread), moving doesn't happen within one backend, so Gnus does
retrieve+delete. And nnimap can't know this case from the case where
articles are simply expired. Neither could nnml or nnfolder, so I
guess this is a generic problem.
