Is there an easy way to go through a group and covert all articles marked
as ancient (O) to either unmarked to to ticked? I've given up on Sgnus
0.14 for now and went back to 0.12 and lost all my process marks. I'd like
to get them back. This also included expunged articles in mail groups that
didn't get marked for expiration. (I think this has been fixed, though.)
The hard way is to do C-u Enter and read all available articles.

Wouldn't the quick way be to get into the group parameters (G E) and
set them by hand? You ought to be able to get the article numbers
from the backup .newsrc.eld file. If the caching done by Gnus defeats
this, restart gnus immediately after making the changes or just edit
the .newsrc.eld file directly.
