All > other articles are displayed in their traditional faces. There is the nub. You say `all other articles are displayed in their traditional faces' That is not what I see here. If your fetching scheme allows this: In one of your groups that is under the agentized server but where you do not download all messages. Can you mark an undownloaded article as read (and see the read, or ticked and see those faces). Even read and article online, is it marked as read? I cannot. To me a natural thing to do with the agent is download groups I want on disc for some reason, and not download others that I still may read on line. In those `online' groups I cannot see read or ticked face only undownloaded. Wouldn't it make more sense to use summary-line-format to identify undownloaded? Then other faces would not be affected, but one would still have a guide as to whether something was downloaded or not.
