I think that might not have been a good idea. Gnus remembers things about a group based on article numbers. And when the UIDVALIDITY value changes, that means the article numbers might have changed, too. Your idea of `G DEL'-ing the group was a good one. Maybe the group wasn't really deleted? I think it is important to say `s' to save the .newsrc.eld file, then check the file to see if Gnus really deleted all traces of this group from the .newsrc.eld file. In particular, no article number information should remain. I think it would also be good to quit Gnus after `G DEL', then restart it. kai -- I like BOTH kinds of music.
