I think this is the start of said discussion: From: Hanak David Newsgroups: gnus.ding Subject: emacs.gnus Date: Sun, 08 Jun 2003 15:04:33 +0200 Message-ID: I find it annoying that Gnus cannot determine the exact article count for nnml groups. Since I often move messages from one group to another, or expire articles, the active range is full of holes. Therefore, when I ask Gnus for, say, 50 articles, it might happen that I only get 5. And the estimate for the number of artciles can also become very wild. I've hacked this for myself quite a while ago, but very recently I've joined the Gnus newsgroups, and decided to send a patch that would solve the problem for others, too. The patches are up to date, they are based on the CVS version. Please feel free to modify them.
