Has that changed recently? If not then I'm surprised, I sure did something a while back that lost my marks, and I could have sworn it was process marking all the articles in one of my most important groups and then respooling (B r) them to the same group. I did that because I'd changed my split rules and I wanted to use them to file some of the articles elsewhere, but I certainly didn't want *any* of them to lose their marks. In fact, I still haven't finished recovering from that. I just don't have the time to deal with that much work. I now have a group with 8638 messages in it, and I have no idea what in there is important/pending vs archive material :< It's been long enough now though that I'm hoping that for anything important that I accidentally dropped, the relevant people have since contacted me. (I just recalled another wishlist item -- making gnus-use-cross-reference a backend variable so that you can, for example, set it separately for mail and news (I'd like t for news and nil for mail). Originally I just set it because I wanted cross-references updated for news, but I didn't think carefully enough about what the implications for mail were...)
