Bogus group article counts

Bogus group article counts

[Sudish Joseph]

0.76 seems to be showing extra articles in the Group buffer.  For
instance, gnu.emacs.announce shows up with 5 new articles, the server
shows none.

Also, mail messages in groups matching gnus-auto-expirable-newsgroups
are getting marked as read instead of expirable.

I had the same problem. For me it was that NoCem'ed articles were
never marked as read, but removed each time from the summary buffer.
Reverse the change to gnus-summary-catchup-articles (patch below) as a
workaround.

Yup.  Fix in Red Gnus v0.77.
