Hi David,
first of all: thank you for your time and effort.

Currently I am manually catching up all the mails in all archive groups,
so any improvement of this situation will make my life happier ;-)
If I can be of any help for that test setup, please let me know. I
/think/ it would be sufficient to create the Gcc-header manually such as
for this message here:
Gcc: nnml:saved-news
and then sent a message to yourself. I will happily test all the
functions, that you may send, manually, if this helps. I could narrow
the problem down to line 1685 in gnus-msg.el:
(setq group (gnus-group-short-name group)))
since gnus-group-short-name strips the nnml-prefix. I just evaluated
the gnus-inews-do-gcc defun found in Emacs 22.3 and then everything
worked as expected.
Kind regards,
Stefan
