If you have gnus-use-cache set to t, then when you tick an article, it is also cached, which is indicated with a * mark. Depending on your gnus-summary-line-format variable, you might only see the * mark when the tick mark is removed. Also, when you mark an article as read, it will be removed from the cache when you exit the group, but the * mark still shows until then. Most marks show what *will* happen when you exit the summary, but for a reason I've never understood, the * mark shows the current state (cached) and some other mechanism results in it getting removed when you exit the group. So I think all you have to do is ignore this. The * should be gone the next time you enter that group. It can also be removed with M-*. See the Article Caching section of the Gnus info page. Dan
