It's a long time since this worked for me. Agent now downloads all
articles newer than the latest article in its database, independent of
the marks. This means that if I ever run gnus-agent-expire and this
causes a low traffic group to be completely purged, then agent will
download the entire group next time I do a fetch even if all articles
are marked read. Quite annoying :-(
I read news and mail online most of the time, but (used to) use agent for
short offline periods like the bus ride to work. The current behaviour
makes this usage pattern very inefficient since most articles are
downloaded two times...
I tried to send a bug report a few months ago, but don't think anybody
noticed. I'm still not completely sure that this problem isn't caused
by a configuration error on my end since noone else have reported it.
In that case I would appreciate a hint or two. AFAIK I haven't changed
anything related to agent since things worked, just done a cvs update
now and then.
