respool article and broken group data

respool article and broken group data

[Kiwon Um]

Dear gnus team, this is a bug report:

When I re-spool (gnus-summary-respool-article) an article,
the group information is broken.

In a group,
("nnml:mail.misc" 3 ((1 . 77)) ((seen (1 . 77) (expire (1 . 77)) "nnml:"),
after modifying the nnmail-split-methods and re-spooling an article 'B r',
the article goes to the other group,
and the original group information get broken:
("nnml:mail.misc" 3 ((1 . 77)) ((seen (1 . 77) (expire (1 . 75) 77) "nnml:").

("nnml:mail.misc" 3 ((1 . 75) 77) ((seen ((1 . 75) 77) (expire (1 . 75) 77)
"nnml:") might be the correct result.

If the re-spooling article is the latest one, this bug is really problematic,
because the new coming article to "mail.misc" is set as seen already.

I tested this on:
Gnus git repo, SHA1 ID: 1fffc6fafc4029ba2e8a9f0f3c63e610276019fe
GNU Emacs 23.3.1

Thanks.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean here.

Respooling a message is just a way of moving it to a different group.
The original group won't adjust its article numbers -- if the highest
article number was 77, and you move that to a different group, the next
article in this group will be 78.
