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? Regards, -- steve@miranova.com baur Unsolicited commercial e-mail will be proofread for $250/hour.
