I believe I have the same problem. A few years ago, I used Gnus for both mail and news[1] without any problem. Then, by the end of 2001, I stopped reading the news and kept Gnus only for the mail. Lately (in April or so), I wanted to read some newsgroups again in Unplugged mode but encountered this problem: every now and then, Gnus didn't remember a bunch of articles I had read and was displaying them as unread again (it seems to be "all articles later than $some_date"). This happened every two days, or something like that. If I read a group and entered it a few minutes later, no problem. But when I started to read it again the day after, or two days later, then for some reason, Gnus had forgotten a lot of the articles I had read and was displaying them as unread again. This made news-reading almost impossible, so I stopped reading news, again. :-/ I tried killing the groups, removing them from and readding them to the agent, deleting the files under ~/News/agent/nntp/$server and checking that no information whatsoever from the newsgroup I was trying to read was present in ~/.newsrc.eld before subscribing to it again, but nothing helped. Every time I recreated the group and started to read it again, Gnus would forget a whole bunch of the read messages one or two days later. If someone can help us solve this issue, I'd be very grateful. Thanks. [1] with gnus-unplugged -- Florent
