I delete some mail messages (using `B delete') from time to time. If one of the nnmbox groups becomes large enough (greater than the default limit of 200 messages), Gnus asks something like the following when I try to enter that group: How many articles from nnmbox:mail.misc (default 220): If I press `return', I get all articles loaded. However, if I do specify how many articles to load, e.g., 10 articles, I often (really every time) will get the number of articles which is less than the specified number (e.g., asking 10 articles, I can get only 3). Is it a bug or a feature? Best regards, -- Vladimir.
