I could also care elss about the article file names (numbers), but I
really hate how gnus calculates the number of articles in an nnml
group. If I have 100 messages in a group, I want gnus to say I have
100 messages, not 1029 messages. This has of course been discussed
many times before but I have yet to understand why gnus can't check
how many messages there REALLY are in a mail group. How hard can that
really be?
