Is there a way to get nnml to renumber the articles Christoph> in a folder? Process-mark them all, then use B m to move them from the foo group to the foo group (i.e. move them to the group they're in already). This will assign consecutive numbers to the messages, though the numbers don't start at 1. It will remove your gap problem, though. Christoph> Is this related to the fact that I delete mails using B Christoph> DEL? Should I use the expiry mechanism to get rid of Christoph> unwanted mail? Would that be the "proper" way, or is Christoph> there no such thing? B DEL is okay. I use the expiry mechanism only as a security mechanism -- sometimes I find out a day later that I shouldn't have deleted that mail and with an expiration time of a week I can get it back. Also, using expiry is useful in those cases where you don't really care about a message but expect a followup a few days hence. With expiry, you just mark the message as expirable and when the followup comes the original will still be around for you to conveniently refer to. Without expiry you would have to decide whether the keep the original around, having to remember to delete it later, or you wouldn't have the original to refer to. kai -- Really cancel? [OK] [Cancel]
