Hello guys,

   I was launching last night my Gnus, and while it tried to open the
news server, I typed "C-g" to get it out of the loop.  All of a
sudden, all my groups were gone.

   I eventually managed to get my mail groups back, but now they all
have an "*" in front of them, and it seems all the history about which
messages I had read, and which ones I had replied to, and expired is
gone (I fucked up even more afterwards though).

   So this is not a bug report, but a request for help :-)

   I have the impression that the information about which mails I read
is kept in the overview files for my nnml groups or hopefully on the
messages themselves.  Is there any way to make Gnus regenerate its
internal data about my article marks from the existing files?

   I will deeply appreciate any help.

Best wishes,
Miguel.
