I mean to the tune of over 100,000 msgs After looking at the docu string for gnus-agent-regenerate[-group] I see I mis-understood what it would do. I hoped it would reset that count but it does not concern itself with that .. only the files generated by the agent... which I guess is .agentview and maybe .overview... although I'm not sure about .overview... I think that gets compiled even if the agent is not engaged. But it does not concern itself with counts anyway... right? So, .newsrc is the place where that is kept track of but in this case the groups in question are foreign groups so do not appear in .newsrc. So getting to the chase... How can I reset the counts shown in gnus? Is it a matter of hand editing .newsrc.eld? And if so, anyone have advice about that?
