Hi,

the manual says:

,----[ (info "(gnus)Finding the Parent") ]
|    Most of the mail back ends support fetching by `Message-ID', but do
| not do a particularly excellent job at it.  That is, `nnmbox',
| `nnbabyl', and `nnmaildir' are able to locate articles from any groups,
| while `nnml', `nnfolder', and `nnimap' are only able to locate articles
| that have been posted to the current group.  (Anything else would be
| too time consuming.)  `nnmh' does not support this at all.
`----

Is the part about nnml correct?  I don't have any problems fetching
articles by MID on nnml servers from any group.  (Of course I had to
add the server to `gnus-refer-article-method'.)

Bye, Reiner.

Same here. I think the manual should be corrected.
