How?
Gnus has the following read ranges for a group:
((1 . 45))
The active info for the group is
(40 . 50)
Gnus displays "5 unread".
Now, the count of actual articles in the group is 7.
How many unread articles are there really in this group?
1) 5
2) 4
3) 3
4) 2
5) 1
6) all of the above
7) none of the above
8) green
9) to be decided at a later date
