Gnus normally uses the article number to +refer to the article if the data shows that that article is in the +current group, while it uses the @code{Message-ID} otherwise. However, +some news servers, e.g., ones running Diablo, run multiple engines +having the same articles but article numbers are not kept synchronized +between them. In that case, the article number that appears in the +@code{Xref} header varies by which engine is chosen, so you cannot refer +to the parent article that is in the current group, for instance. If +you connect to such a server, set this variable to a non-@code{nil} +value, and Gnus never uses article numbers.
