B m creates duplicates?

B m creates duplicates?

[Norman Walsh]

Hello world,

I've just started using "B m" to move mail between groups
(mostly so I can have even greater refinement than I can
practically create with procmail) and I notice that articles
moved this way are flagged as duplicates.

Since I'm moving them, not copying them or otherwise duplicating
them, I think this is a bug.  It's not a serious one, since I
can just go through and tick them as unread, but...FYI...

Uhm...  What do you mean by that they are "flagged as duplicates"?
What does this flag look like?

I bet he means they're flagged with a 'M' in the summary buffer of the
group they've been moved to if you read it in the same session you did
the move (did that sentence actually parse?).  I've seen this too,
though I'm not really bothered by it.  They don't show up as duplicate
if you read them in a subsequent session of gnus.  I'm guessing they
should be removed from the message-id cache as part of the move.

Ah, but one more point.  I happen to be running 5.4.45 on another
machine and that version _does not_ exhibit the duplicate problem.
I was running 5.4.52 under NT when I saw the problem.

                                        Cheers,

Yup.  Fix in Gnus v5.4.54.
