#### 6.4.13.8 NOV data

An article identified by `uniq` has its NOV data (used to generate lines in the summary buffer) stored in `.nnmaildir/nov/uniq`. There is no `nnmaildir-generate-nov-databases` function. (There isn’t much need for it—an article’s NOV data is updated automatically when the article or `nnmail-extra-headers` has changed.) You can force `nnmaildir` to regenerate the NOV data for a single article simply by deleting the corresponding NOV file, but beware: this will also cause `nnmaildir` to assign a new article number for this article, which may cause trouble with `seen` marks, the Agent, and the cache.
