I agree with Kai. I do this all the time, except rather than setting them as unread (`!'), I prefer to set them as dormant (`?'). The advantage of dormant over unread is that I don't see the articles unless I want to (either as a `*' in the summary, or in the group itself). I can always `M D' to show the dormants. I also use this on my auto-expire mail groups. Nit to pick with Lars: When I `M D', the articles are not threaded correctly, and have no `A r' property (which I assume is a related issue). -Colin
