Subject: bug#34990: "Can’t mark negative article numbers": why and how to avoid this error?
Date: Mon, 25 Mar 2019 07:41:45 +0100

Hi,

from time to time, trying to mark articles with "!", I get this error:
"Can’t mark negative article numbers" and the article is not marked.

My config is here: https://github.com/bzg/dotemacs/blob/master/emacs.el

I'm using Gnus over a local dovecot-powered IMAP, sync'ed with mbsync.

Is this error related to the use of Gnus score?

Thanks,

Gnus v5.13
