Respool w/o losing cache info?

Respool w/o losing cache info?

[Morgan Fletcher]

Through various mucking with my gnus setup, I've got a couple nnml
groups with summaries that look like this:

  !  [   0:  (nobody)           ] (none)
  !A [   0:  (nobody)           ] (none)
  !  [   0:  (nobody)           ] (none)
  !  [   0:  (nobody)           ] (none)
  !  [  21:  Listserv v4.       ] Welcome to list 'perforce-user'
  !  [  51:  Listserv v4.       ] Usage information

Each of the "zero-line" articles actually contains a valid, > 0 lines
article. I want the summary information corrected, and I don't want to
lose the cached information for each article. Another way of saying
that is I want to keep track of these articles.

I can respool them with `B r`, and then the summary information is
corrected, but the articles become just one among many read articles,
even if I cache them before the respool.

I also tried nnml-generate-nov-databases, but the summary info
remained unchanged.

What's the solution to this problem?

I've seen it on gnus 5.4.63 and pgnus 0.65, on various emacsen.

I'm guessing that the nnml articles themselves are corrupt -- that is, 
that there are blank lines early in the header that makes it
impossible for Gnus to get the info.

Or it might just be destroyed NOV files.  `M-g' one of the nnml groups 
where this happens, and then immediately `M-x
nnml-generate-nov-databases RET'.
