In several of my mail groups, the 'E' mark got removed from all of the
messages somehow when I went from 0.86 to 0.90.  All of the messages
that had this happen showed up again in the summary buffer as if they
were new mail.

I'm using topics.  All of my mail groups except the ding one are in a
topic called Mail.  When I have read all of the messages in this
topic, the topic header still reads:   [ Mail -- 1 ]

I think there's a typo in message.el.  In my XEmacs 19.13 installation
it's mail-abbrevs not mail-abbrev.


fyi,
Michael

What kind of mail group do you use?  I haven't seen it in nnml.

Yup.

nnml.  The really odd thing was that it didn't happen in all of the
groups.  Only about 3 or 4 of them.

This has been seen before, back in the dawn of sgnus (around 0.12)
Lars changed the structure of the Group info so that it was no longer
backwards compatible, causing lossage with .newsrcs created with a
newer sgnus but run against an older gnus.  The lossage being all
marks being lost.  This was reported fixed in later versions of Gnus
5.0 (by .13?) but I never tested it.

Did you perchance, create those groups with 5.0, or mix usage with 5.0?
If it was just expiration marks and not all marks, what kind of
expiration settings are you using?

Losing marks in an nntp newsgroup is inconvenient, losing marks in a
mail group, especially one associated with a high-volume mailing list
is a tragedy (or the equivalent of a serious mailbombing).

Speaking of which, does anyone use numbered backups on their .newsrc?
