Subject: Some numbering problem (nnml?)
Date: 01 Dec 2000 09:45:01 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <wk4s0owmwi.fsf@wmp-pc40.wavecom.fr> (raw)

Hello,

I'm using Gnus v5.8.7 on NT-Emacs (20.7.1), mostly for email since I have no
news server ATM. nnml is my backend of choice. 

There's this mailing-list I'm subscribed to, which generates a volume of
roughly a hundred messages a day; this group has auto-expiry.
 
I have sometimes deleted expired mesages manually, and sometimess deleted
(B-del) messages myself. The problem is that the number of total messages in
this group does not seem to decrease at all -as presented when I want to open
it and there's no new message. Gnus will says something like "how many messages
do you want to read (default 7293) ?". This number always goes up, and now it
doesn't reflect the REAL number of messages that haven't been deleted yet
(this is easy to find, only count the individual files in ~/Mail/list/foo) .

Is there a command to make Gnus recount the effective number of messages in a
group ??

thanks
