It also knows about unseen: if you enter a Group which has new articles,
and then leave the Group without reading the new articles, it knows them
as seen (but unread). If you re-enter the Group again, and it has gotten
new articles in the meantime, these articles are unseen and are marked
with an "N" in the summary. This is a recent (maybe 4-6 weeks?) addition
to Oort.

Funny enough, I have at least seen that feature in the past, but not
currently. Not sure if I did something to change this, and I cannot
try a newer version since the nightly snapshots are not up-to-date
and I cannot access CVS from here.
