What do you mean by "unseen"? I mean an article that has the unseen mark next to it. The little '.' character, for reference, that's available in a fairly modern Gnus for nnml mail. :) > Gnus makes a distinction between read and unread, with every article > state other than unread implying that the article has been read. Yes, it does. It /also/ tracks if this is the first time that a message has been shown in a summary buffer and shows the '.' if it has not. So, it's not all that uncommon for me to enter a group and see three marked messages (*), two unread and two unread-but-seen-before messages.
