Slurped from a procmail spool. Imagine I delete this group after using it and respooling all its messages to other groups. C-u G del Or is it? Close gnus then emacs, restart. Create a group with `G m' from nnml backend naming it prinb attempt to enter the group: Now reporting from *Messages* after restarting Creating mail directory /home/reader/Mail/prinb/ <= create the group Retrieving newsgroup: nnml:prinb...

What is all the frenetic activity about? It even shows a percent count as the non-existent headers are downloaded. Fictitious group count is generated something like 3000+ Non existent marks are generated for non existent messages. Finally reporting No unread news Do we need all this overhead, in an empty newly created group? Why is there a fictitious message count generated? Where is the false info coming from? Can't be .overview, since it is rm'ed. When a group is C-u G del'ed and gnus is closed, shouldn't that groups info disappear from newsrc.eld, as well as any `active' file?
