Gnus remembers which articles you have seen, ticked, etc. This is stored in the files ~/.newsrc.eld. If nntp-marks-is-evil is nil, then this information is additionally saved in one file per group under ~/News/marks. If both the ~/News/marks file and ~/.newsrc.eld data are available, the ~/News/marks file is used. Kai
