Hi!

I've been there and the patch attached (valid for 5.6.4x,
didn't test under pgnus yet) does this except for a minor
problem for which I'm asking for help to all of you.... It
works except for the current group. That is it does not mark 
as read the article in the current open group, but if you
have multiple Gcc groups all the other work ok. Does anyone
have a clue ?
As you can see by the patch I even try to get new news but
that doesn't regenerate summary or makes the Article
available for marking.

Best regards,

	Nelson
