Q4.7 Group renumbering
Thomas Larsen <lath@interlink.no> writes: I'm usinge the nnml backend to read my mail. To get rid of read mail, I either expire the article or use B DEL. When I have received more than 200 articles in a nnml group, I get prompted for how many articles to show when entering it. The problem is that there are only about 20 articles present in the group and it's quite annoying to get prompted for this every time. Is there a way to fix this without setting gnus-large-group to something very high? Can you somehow renumber the articles in a group? I'm using Gnus 5.2.1. Colin Rafferty <craffert@spspme.ml.com> writes: Yes. Enter the group, mark all articles, and then move them all to the current group. If they were spread out between 1 and 200, they will now all be numbered consecutively starting at 201. In response to the further question: Can this be done without breaking the xref info? Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen <larsi@ifi.uio.no> writes: Well -- if these are Xreffed from a different group, this'll break the Xref info in the other groups. That is, if you (after renumbering the articles) read the articles in a different group, they won't be marked as read in the renumbered group.
