Possibly in ~/Mail/misc/spam/.marks? (If you're hunting around in the nnml tree directly, I've also noticed cases where there are article files that aren't listed in .overview. It's probably about three lines of Perl to find them, or I can nnml-generate-nov-databases, but I don't think it's a huge number of messages. I suspect they appear if Emacs dies an unfortunate death while I'm leaving a group, which has happened occasionally due to crappy network and what not over the past 9-or-so years.) --dzm
