To late to tell on this go around since I've 'B m' ed to a temp group ran 'C-u G del' then remade the group and moved the messages back. They all have orderly numbers now. Except for some kind of system where every 12th file is a different sequence number. Looking closely in the directories involved I was suprised to find the group that had been nuked with 'C-u G del' to still be there and still have one lonesome article in it (# 1) The culprit I guess. it was a recent article though -- part of this thread. If it comes up again though I'll know how to proceed and what is actually happening -- Thanks -- Harry Putnam reader@newsguy.com
