When a messages | group (I use nnfolder) has cached articles, I find | respooling/moving/copying messages in the group do not touch | cached articles, Why are you caching mail messages? There is no sane reason to do more than 'tick' with `u' so as to prevent articles from being expired. | also cache groups do not support moving/copy themselves, There is no "cache" backend. The only ways to read cache areas is to use nndir or nneething backends, both of which are read-only backends. If you wish to reseqence a group, process mark all messages in that group and move them to the same group (B m). | * Number in virtual group is frustrating. Virtual groups are frustrating :). [...] | When I tell Gnus to read read 300 messages from foo.v, does Gnus | read 100 from each component group or just read the 300 messages | with highest number from the virtual group? Gnus reads 100 articles. Where the backend gets them is a separate issue (which is the entire point, really). | How does other people handle these problem? Any suggestion will be | appreciated. I've never experienced these "problems", mainly becuase I never bother thinking about things like article numbers. They are irrelevant to me; they only mean something to the Gnus backend that maintains them. Ignore messages numbers and your "problems" will go away. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v0.9.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE3cTwBgl+vIlSVSNkRAuNAAJsGlMogh3cKALkyKHNonecNQKVsFgCfS8Za CKOdr8nS6KuOZUmV6te9YXU= =kOfb -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Rat \ Ingredients of Happy Fun Ball include an Minion of Nathan - Nathan says Hi! \ unknown glowing substance which fell to PGP Key: at a key server near you! \ Earth, presumably from outer space.
