Thinking more on this - even if Gnus does retrieve+delete, it could (and ought to) use nnchoke-request-move-article to do it. Using nnchoke-request-article is wrong, since it doesn't undo any changes made by the backend, and using nnchoke-request-expire-articles is wrong as has already been mentioned. To retrieve with n-r-m-a, just pass nil as the accept-form; the article will then be in the given buffer. To delete with n-r-m-a, pass t as the accept-form. (Passing the destination backend's -request-accept article would be even better, but might be a harder change to make.) paul
