nnmh looks in the directory and uses the next free article number.
And Gnus doesn't like it at all if article numbers are reused.
Consider: you have marked as read all articles from 1 through 1000.
You delete all articles from the group. You put a new article in the
group. It gets number 1 (since that's the next free number). The new
article will be marked as read!
