This information and the information earlier in the thread doesn't add
up for me.  Earlier I interpreted the problem that seen marks were
visible on articles the second time you entered a group with that
article.  Did I misunderstand that?  Is that still the problem?  If
the seen list is updated as above, then the summary buffer shouldn't
have a "unseen" mark on the 11844 article upon entering the group the
second time.  Did it?

I'm not sure how this problem relate to the spam mark, but presumably
it is because spam.el use the seen mark to decide which articles to
mark as spam?
