hmmm, I'm not aware I've ever done something like that but since my Gnus
config evolved over several years I cannot completely exclude this
possibility. I know the behaviour you've mentioned from nntp groups,
maybe it's different with the nnml backend (I was actually testing this
with nnml).

D'accord.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work. The behaviour is the same as with the
original version: jumping to the article works if the last article in
the group in question hasn't been deleted, otherwise it fails.
