I noticed in my nnfolder:/Mail/misc file that I've got articles with
duplicate article numbers like.

X-Gnus-Article-Number: 8383

Is that supposed to happen?

Are the numbers the same?  That is, are these lines just repeated?

I think Shane is saying the right number is 83 not 8383...

No, I've got 3 articles with that article number in the message
header.

That's definitely not good.  It is probably related to these other
mail lossage thingies people are reporting.  I haven't been able to
reproduce any of it myself -- things are being written as they should
here.  I would guess that it's the finishing-up bits that aren't run.

Could y'all who are seeing this breakage try to debug it?

I haven't lost any mail since applying the patch that was posted to
this thread.  So, I think my predicament of having multiple articles
of the same number is due to that bug.  I would like some advice as to
how I can remedy the situation.  Is there an easy way to re-number the
articles or do I need to do some hand editing?  You know, now that I
think about it, this might be real serious under nnml because the
article numbers would be the name of the files and some files would
have been overwritten wouldn't they?

`M-x nnfolder-generate-active-file' might do that, but I don't quite
remember.  Try it and let us know.  :-)

No; nnml is physically unable to do stuff like that.  (FSVO
"physically".)
