Subject: agent forgetting marks

Message-ID: <864q8utvtf.fsf@solnet.ch> (raw)

I have a problem with the agent and would appreciate any help very much:

User-Agent: Gnus/5.110004 (No Gnus v0.4) Emacs/21.4 (gnu/linux)
Debian sarge

I have installed Debian sarge on a new machine, moved all user data
and the directory where I keep gnus cvs version from my prior debian
(woody) installation and did a cvs update. One of these steps must
have confused Gnus, but I can't find out what could be wrong.
I have *not* changed my Gnus configuration (which was working fine before)
in any way.

I have two users using Gnus, one for mail (where everything works fine)
and another one for news. On news I see the following problem:

I read articles *un*plugged, mark some with '!' or '?' which seems
to work fine. But if I plug Gnus now ('Jj') and do 'g' all the articles
which I have read under the agent are shown again as unread. It's very
annoing...  Gnus does *not* show the unseen mark '.' on these messages,
so it seems to know that I have seen them at least. All the '!' and '?'
marks have disappeared, though...

BTW: If I read (or mark) articles in the *plugged* state everything
works fine and read or marked articles stay read/marked regardless
the online/offline status.

What could I do to find out why the agent is not working any more for me?

Thanks a lot,
Robert Epprecht
