Yes, I was confused by the unread article count in the group buffer.
The actual read and unread articles indeed show up properly in the
summary buffer.

With regard to the gnus-specific flags (expired, dormant, etc.) and the
nntp state: is it sufficient that I sync `.newsrc.eld', or do I have to
sync other items, as well? ... what about `.newsrc' (without the `.eld'
suffix)?

Thanks for your help.
