An old error is back. Current Gnus from CVS head wrongly marks nntp
articles as read (5.10.[01] was not affected). Entering news group
Emacs/Gnus displays:

All the blueish were not read by me ;-( I guess it can happen, when
there is a recent article cached and previous articles were unread.
Also I'd like to know how I can disable the '=> ...' feature.
The strange thing is, the '=>' feature isn't always triggered; but when
it got triggered Gnus puts wrong marks on unread articles. This is
very annoying. Am I the only one who is affected by this problem?

Whee. Actually, I have no idea about this :-/
But it might be related to the agent thing that Kevin and me were
talking about.

It comes from the %f specifier in gnus-summary-line-format. See the
node "To From Newsgroups" in the Gnus info file.

I don't know if this could be the same bug, but I still see occasionally
some messages marked as read (*and* unseen!) in *nnml* groups. Last time
it happened maybe three weeks ago with CVS head of this date. The messages
have just been split by nnmail-split-methods and when I enter the group
some messages shows up as read. The agent is *not* involved, as this happens
in a mail-only incarnation of Gnus with (setq gnus-agent-cache nil) and
(setq gnus-agent nil) in .gnus.el.
It is an old and *very* annoying bug. I still have no clue what triggers
it. I would be very happy if somebody could tell me what I could do to
help debugging when I see it next time...

I can confirm this behavior. It often seems to happen if you receive
an answer to within a thread where the old messages were already
intentionally marked as read _and_ when there is an unrelated but more
recent message ticked.

Yes, that's the problem. Whenever I try to trigger the bug manually,
it does not happen; but then, after some weeks, I enter my default nnml
group with 'C-u RET' and article I've never read are marked as read.

That's possible, but I'm quite sure that I have seen it with messages
*not* belonging to a thread.
On the other hand we once had (in an earlier discussion about it) the
impression, that *moving* (other) messages from (or maybe also into)
the group could be involved. In all the cases I have seen in between,
this seems possible, but I do not really know yet...
