I believe I read another report on this before. But the wierdness does not end there. Let me explain: (a) I installed 0.04 and started emacs. I started gnus with M-x gnus-unpluged RET (b) A gory sight greeted me --- a gazillion unread messages. (c) I thought for a second and quickly pressed 'q' to quit from. (d) After a few deep breaths, I did the M-x gnus-unplugged RET routine, and lo and behold!! things were as they should have been. (e) I repeated the above steps (from starting emacs) to confirm this behaviour. (f) In one pass, during the second gnus invocation, I entered a group and changed some marks, 's'ed in *Group* buffer and quit emacs. Then I restarted Emacs. Again all groups showed unread messages _except_ the group I had just edited. (g) I restarted Emacs and did (setq nnml-marks-is-evil t) and life appeared normal. Is there a fix for this in CVS? -- "Have you ever fought an IDEA, Picard?" -- Gowron, Star Trek TNG.
