 | That's a totally different problem from what the OP had.  See the Gnus
 | FAQ, e.g. http://my.gnus.org/faq/html-chunks/FAQ.html#id2526579.  The
 | only way around it is to select every article in the group and move it
 | back to the same group so that your articles get renumbered.
 | 
 | (Say your group has articles 101...133.  You've moved article 133 away
 | but Gnus still remembers that 133 was the last article number, so the
 | next one is 134 and you have articles 101...134, even though 133 is
 | missing.  C-u M-RET M P b B m my.group.name will make the articles be
 | 135...157, which is a contiguous block of 33 articles.  The OP's
 | problem was in nntp, not nnml, where the server administrator
 | renumbered the articles 1...33, horribly confusing Gnus.)

Many thanks. I'll try that.
