I didn't get to try the patch but I see it is part of todays cvs so instead I reupped my cvs and byte compiled the new el files. I don't see any difference in the behavior. Still after I respool everthing, if I reopen that group before new stuff is added, I still see all the old stuff listed in summary buffer. However, an additional point here. Once new stuff is pulled into prinb it seems the ghosts disappear, and the summary buffer shows only the new stuff. > FWIW I couldn't reproduce it.

Do you think the fact that this nnml group is generated from a procmail spool has any baring? > If the patch doesn't do anything, maybe you could edebug > `nnml-request-move-article' and `nnml-nov-delete-article' to see that > the article file is really deleted (by `nnmail-delete-file-function') > and that `nnml-nov-delete-article' really removes the article from the > NOV file.

I'm still too ignorant to run edebug with any skill, and don't really know even how to get started. Looking it up in the info pages, it looks like I have a long ways to go before I can just dance through stuff like you suggest. Maybe you can give me a couple of heavy clues to get started, and I'll fumble with the info and help etc to get the rest. What I don't know is how to start the debugger on those particular things.
