Strange.  I always though that the summary can be built from the
overview data.

Some test:

,----[ ~/News/nntp+news.gmane.org:gmane.test.SCORE ]
| (("xref"
|   ("gmane.spam.detected" -1000 nil s))
|  ("subject"
|   ("test" -1 nil s))
|  (mark-and-expunge -100))
`----

After entering nntp+news.gmane.org:gmane.test (in Gnus 5.10.6), I get:

,----[ *nntp-log* ]
| 20040304T184412.725 news.gmane.org GROUP gmane.test
| 20040304T184412.774 news.gmane.org XOVER 1244-1343
`----

Of course, this is not possible anymore if you have some scoring rules
on head or body.

Another test with...

,----[ ~/News/nntp+news.gmane.org:gmane.test.SCORE ]
| (("xref"
|   ("gmane.spam.detected" -1000 nil s))
|  ("subject"
|   ("test" -2000 nil s))
|  (mark-and-expunge -100))
`----

...  gives the same nntp log output and the article with subject test
are expunged and become visible with `/ E'.

When Xref is present in the overview data (this is always the case, I
think), the article is dropped already at this stage.  As for the
article _numbers_ (I don't know what your "article id" means here),
leafnode chooses the numbers independently from the numbers on the
upstream server(s).  So there are no holes in the number ranges.

Bye, Reiner.
