Yes, I have "display", but it doesn't do what I want (see earlier part
of this thread, my discussion with Simon Josefsson).  I can set a
numeric value in "display", and here's what happens (suppose that the
numeric value is 100, that I have no ticked or dormant articles, and I
have several thousand already-read messages) ...

Case 1:  There are new articles when I enter the group (assume 10
         new articles for the moment).

  I see 10 new articles and 90 already read articles.

Case 2:  There are no new articles when I enter the group.

  I see 100 already read articles.

The second case is what I want.  But the first case isn't.  In Case 1,
I'd like to only see the new articles.
  
Can anyone think of any other variables that control this behavior?
