total number of articles in topics

[Colin Rafferty]

I have (setq gnus-topic-unique nil), and I see that groups are being
(erroneously) counted each time they are mentioned.  For example, the
"Gnus -- 7" below should be "Gnus -- 4":

[ Gnus -- 7 ]
  [ misc -- 0 ]
       1: Misc misc                            5 Mar 14:16
  [ freedom -- 3 ]
       3: Internet censorship issues           5 Mar 13:21
  [ lists -- 3 ]
       3: Internet censorship issues           5 Mar 13:21
  [ personal -- 0 ]


I think that the correct behavior should be the same as "du" dealing
with hard links.

I am using 0.49, but I have seen this behavior since I moved to sgnus,
but its irritation factor has only just now broken my mailing threshold.

I don't know, really.  I don't think that'll be sufficient.

Well, it's only meant to be used when one moves from one server to
another.  Using something like that when reading news normally would
be impossible.  The sheer amount of data needed to be processed would
kill off Emacs and all other processes in the near vicinity.

I've been reading some old archive files as to making the .newsrc.eld file
portable and I think Lars you specified that you might save Message-ID's.
Would this involve saving just the start and end point of each consistant
block (i.e. the first/last and each end point of a "gap").  This might
reduce the .newsrc.eld file to a managable size.  I got shivers the first
time I read that you'd be saving Message-ID's.  Also would this be an
explicit user-specified filter, i.e. batch command or one like
gnus-compile, instead of having this on by default?  Oh and I apologize for
the double postings and screwed up From_ lines.  I've been fighting with TM
lately and losing badly in some cases.  I think the main problem has been
that if you attempt to send an article, and there is a fatal error, you're
dumped back into the news-reply buffer, which if you attempt to repeat to
send, it'll muff up the headers.  I'll try to duplicate the error on some
local tests groups.
