I don't notice this. I use splitting with nnimap and I have the same setting, but split articles are not marked as read. I have seen mark-as-read when entering a group, but I fixed that as I described. > - .agentview files may contain bogus info, like "nil 2" etc. (or it has a > new format now?) nil means it's empty, 2 means it's in format 2. Yes, Kevin has introduced a new format. The new format supports ranges and also includes the history file information, so that the history file is not needed anymore. > - i am seeing all my dormanted articles became read (marked 'O')!!! I know > that nnimap stores gnus specific marks, like dormant, on IMAP servers that > support custom marks. this is a major problem for agent right now. I use dormant articles rarely. Let me test this with an nnimap group. > thanks for the good work, Kevin and Kai! My work consisted of writing the ChangeLog entry.
