I periodically see a different number of new articles when I enter a group than the *Group* summary said were there. One time I took a close look at the .overview file and found it'd just skipped one of the articles it'd written into the directory, ie articles 1546, 1547, 1548 and 1549 existed, with both 1548 and 1549 newly fetched messages, but the .overview file had entries for 1546, 1547 and 1549, no 1548. I watch carefully for this now, and I do nnml-generate-nov-databases-1 and reenter the group when I notice it and find the article marked read once it's finally added to the .overview. Be nice to track this down. -- Neil Crellin
