Subject: Problem with Groups of the same name under different backends

Message-ID: <m2hfz4llml.fsf@altair.xemacs.org> (raw)

Hopefully this is a simple reproduction of a problem that has been
plaguing me for over a year with respect to renamed nnml groups.

Starting from a blank .newsrc in a brand new account without a .emacs
I customized Gnus to point to the correct NNTP server[1], then I
subscribed to the group gnu.misc.discuss and created the nnml group 
nnml:gnu.misc.discuss.  Then I entered the NNTP version of that group
and caught up all but one message.  I then quit Gnus (saving the
.newsrc.eld) and quit XEmacs.

After restarting XEmacs I started Gnus and entered the
gnu.misc.discuss nntp group and `B c'ed the single message left from
the above into nnml:gnu.misc.discuss.  After immediately exiting the
NNTP group the read message count is wrong and I see in the dribble file:

(gnus-group-set-info '("gnu.misc.discuss" 3 ((1 . 2882))))
(gnus-group-set-info '("gnu.misc.discuss" 3 ((1 . 2882))))
(gnus-group-set-info '("gnu.misc.discuss" 3 ((1 . 2467))))


This is with Gnus-5.6.39 and XEmacs 21.0-pre10, though I have
experienced problems similar to the above for at least a year.

Footnotes: 
[1]  If `gnus-nntp-server' hasn't been customized and it fails, why is
the variable containing "/etc/nntpserver" not tried as a fallback?
