What is the purpose of moving articles that Gnus > would carefully keep out of my sight (unless I take extraordinary > measures to read them)? As far as I'm concerned, the purpose for moving an article is to put it in an appropriate group. In general what happens is I've read an article and want to move it from my total-expire'd inbox (or some other mail-source group that isn't especially topic oriented) to an appropriate group based on its topic or maybe correspondent. In general, I see no need to read it again immediately and in those cases I want to, I tick it and expect the tick to be preserved. It has worked that way for quite some time now and if mark preservation doesn't work for groups created during the move, then that is a bug. I'd have no trouble with an option that let you clear some or all marks after moving should that make you happy, but I wouldn't want to lose the present functionality. -- Dave Goldberg Post: The Mitre Corporation\MS B325\202 Burlington Rd.\Bedford, MA 01730 Phone: 781-271-3887 Email: dsg@mitre.org
