Well I can't say how many were there when I sent that message and I
don't remember for sure which group it refers to. However since it was 
probably the largest group there would have been about 17400 articles
in the group with about 8000 unread. All this is according to Gnus so
it could be wrong.

(I actually put the information about the group sizes near the top of
the message you got the timing information from.)
