Hi.

On a typical day, I check my mail and news from a half-dozen or more
different computers. Each time, I open an ssh connection to my home
pc, bring up a new instance of emacs, and run `gnus-slave`. I also
have a long-running emacs process on the same pc, which is running
gnus (rather than gnus-slave).

Gnus-slave does a fine job of remembering my mail marks (e.g., if I
mark a message as read, gnus remembers that it's been read).

Not so with news: if I mark a news article as read in gnus-slave,
close that instance of emacs, then (later) launch another gnus-slave
session, the article still shows up as unread.

Is there any way to eliminate this behavior? Perhaps by signaling the
long-running process to read the slave newsrcs? 

I'm also curious as to why it doesn't affect mail -- only news.

Thanks in advance,

--Joe
