Qgnus 0.11 and moving files to nnfolder ...troubles

[Jari Aalto]

        Scenario:
        - G f an existing mail file (Gnus detects it as nndoc) A
        - G m new group B
        - Go to A and mark all MPb and try to copy Bc all  to B
        
        -->
        
        File mail-e changed on disk.  Reread from disk? (y or n)

        In my case the test file B is in ~/Mail
        
   0 -rw-------   1 jaalto     nms              0 Sep 27 22:09 mail-e

        
        Okay, eventually I go the articles copied. Suppose I now continue
        I have an empty nnml mail.emacs which only has .overview file
        left. That's ok. I do not have the group name in *Group*
        any more.
        
        Next, I want to rename mail-e to mail.emacs, but that can't be done
        Gnus says: 
    
            Couldn't rename group nnfolder:mail-e to nnfolder:mail.emacs
        
        It would be nice if gnus would ask
        
            "An empty nnml:mail.emacs exists, Delete before renaming?"

No.  If you want to delete the empty group, delete it.
