I tried my hand at using the debugger. I couldn't figure out why 'g'
works but '1g' doesn't. I am not familiar with Gnus' internals.

Fortunately, I found I workaround. My usual setup is to use procmail
to split my incoming mail into just two folders FM and NFM, and then
use Gnus' fancy spitting by setting nnmail-resplit-incoming to t, for
finer control. I use

'((directory  :path "~/.spool/: :suffix ""))

as a mail-sources entry for this. I suspect that this setting has
something to do with my problem. I just changed that entry to

      '((file :path "~/.spool/FM")
	(file :path "~/.spool/NFM"))

and '[123]g' works as advertised!

Perhaps this information can clue someone in on what's causing this
behavior. Thanks for your help.
