When we add xtra headers like `Keywords" or something, how does gnus decide where it will appear in the .overview line? If I wanted to generate a nov like file for a group not under gnus control, and was then to subscibe to that group under an nnml server would gnus care about the order of entries? Or would gnus just regenerate nov even if it were already there? I'm thinking of creating an nnml group that is empty unless I run a homemade search tool that finds messages from possibly many groups/directories in a massive archive not under gnus control and plops those messages into the empty nnml group, generating nov as it does so. If I then, tell gnus to enter that nnml group will it automatically find the new nov file and report the summary buffer accorrdingly? Or will dinking around behind gnus back make her very angry?
