If you give Gnus a numerical prefix N when entering a group via the group buffer, Gnus will fetch the N newest articles, even when some of them are marked as read. You can also tick articles in the summary buffer via gnus-summary-tick-article-forward (M !) which marks them to be always visible. To display a group without unread articles unconditionally in the group buffer, set the group parameter 'visible' to t. Have a look at (info "(gnus)Selecting a Group") (info "(gnus)Unread Articles") for more information. > Also, I've noticed there is a way to mark an article read using d, but > it makes it with a lower case 'r' flag. What's the difference between > this lower case 'r' flag and the upper case 'R' flag? 'r' means that the article has been explicitly marked as read whereas 'R' means that the article actually has been read, that is it was display in an article buffer at some point. Christopher
