Here are the group parameters before and after: If you want all of the numbers back to 1, you can go into the group with `C-u SPC', turn off threading with `T T', sort the articles in a reasonable order `C-c C-s C-n' then using `C-u ### B m' refile everything into a _new_ group (where ### is large enough to cover all of the articles). Then you can go and rename & remove the original group, and then rename the new group to the old name. If you just want the group compacted, but not starting at article number 1, you can just refile into the same group rather than a new one. Oh, and if you use the cache, be careful that everything works right. I think I've noticed that renaming a group doesn't always rename the cache. Anyone have better thoughts on this? Considering how slow total-expire currently gets with groups with lots of holes, maybe a safe compaction routine should be added to Gnus itself. -- David Moore | Computer Systems Lab __o UCSD Dept.
