Well, if the article really is gone from the server, you might as well mark it as read.

It's quite normal for messages to be canceled/superseded/expired, so you'd basically just display a message saying "I didn't fetch all the articles" in (just about) every fetching session. So I don't think that's necessary. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) larsi@gnus.org * Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen
