The behaviour *unplugged* is where I'm at. Since unplugged you are using the agent then it makes little sense to me not to activate subscribed groups. I have already done a C-u 5 g in plugged mode to scan all level 5 and below followed by a Js to download. If I then quit gnus and restart later (gnus-unplugged is my new "on holiday" default start) then since I can *see* the subscribed groups (the level of subscridness means they are subscribed and visible) then there is no immediately obvious reason not to activate them in unplugged too since its just a case of displaying the group line activated with the already stored unread count. As it is I need to C-u 5 g again (unplugged). Does this make some kind of sense?
