thanks for helping me get back into gnus; i still have a big
problem:

1/ now that i'm back in gnus, i find 9520 emails, and counting, in
my
nnml+privat:mail.misc
file;

2/ i finally got access to them,
BUT

3/ i can't restore the marks which had tagged as "deleted" all
but
220 messages, when my ubuntu box and, with it, gnus, crashed last
week;

4/ i want to get at the 220, so i can delete most of them and
archive
the improtant
ones;
