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.
