Make that thousands plus one. Hee, wait a minute... my .gnus actually contains the code to do this: ;;;------------------------------------------------------------------- ;;; Renumbering. ;;;------------------------------------------------------------------- ;; The idea is as follows. From the group buffer, enter a mail group ;; (C-u ). Select all articles (M P b) and move the articles to ;; a not yet existing temporary mail group (B m). Now, exit the group ;; and kill it (C-k) in the group buffer. Exit gnus (q). Manually ;; kill the file(s) of the group and remove its line from the active ;; file. Restart Gnus. Enter the temporary group (C-u ), select ;; all (M P b) and move all (B m) to the original group which is then ;; created anew. Now, exit the temporary group (q) and kill it (C-k), ;; subscribe to the original group (F) and exit gnus (q). Delete the ;; file(s) of the temporary group and remove its line from the active ;; file. Voila the group is renumbered.
