Did you try this before suggesting it? A tick mark doesn't help. If you've been following this thread, you'll know that I'm talking about the case where I enter a group with no unread articles. All the ticked and non-ticked articles show up when I enter a group with no unread articles. > You could also mark as dormant the articles you want to see. Then `Y > d' will show the dormant articles. Thanks. Soon I'll be off to investigate dormant-izing the articles.

Would those marks get stored in the back end, or in the .marks file? If they're stored in the back end, I don't know that they would help me. > --=20 > Ambibibentists unite! > --=20 Lloyd Zusman ljz@asfast.com
