bug report: can't recreate nnml

bug report: can't recreate nnml

[jari.aalto]

        If I delete nnml group and try to recreate it, Gnus
        won't create the directory. Follow these steps:

        o       G m test.test RET nnml RET
            --> ~/Mail/test.test/ created
        o       rmdir ~/Mail/test.test/
        o       C-k test.test
        o       G m test.test RET nnml RET
            --> no directory created ?

C-k doesn't delete the group!  It just unsubscribes it.  Therefore,
Gnus still thinks there is a group.

Use G DEL to delete a group.

And don't mess around in ~/Mail unless you know what you're doing :-)
Gnus doesn't really expect people to mess around in its directories.

But i didn't want gnus to remove the directory; that's why used
manual rm after I zipped the messages. The G DEL would have
killed all messages too. 

I'm just wondering, shouldn't nnml create the directory always if there
is not one. It shouldn't matter if the directory were removed by 
earthquake, or by user or by Gnus G DEL.

What makes you think so?  That would be `C-u G DEL' to remove the
messages.
