Yes, it is confusing, and I was confused. In fact, I meant to say "isn't a ticked article considered unread?" I saw expired and ticked grouped together and thought that one of them must be wrong, but I think it is ticked that is wrong. Right? ... Fumbles through the info pages... Hmm, from the node called (not surprisingly) "Unread Articles", we have | The following marks mark articles as (kinda) unread, in one form or | other. | | `!' | Marked as ticked (`gnus-ticked-mark'). | ... | | `?' | Marked as dormant (`gnus-dormant-mark'). | ... | | `SPACE' | Marked as unread (`gnus-unread-mark'). | | "Unread articles" are articles that haven't been read at all yet. The last two lines seem to contradict the first line, so maybe there is no strict definition of what "unread" means. Dan
