I've included my environment details below just in case anything jumps out. Interesting reading eh :-) I have noticed a few things, but I'm still at a loss as to what the controlling factors are. As mentioned previously, 'g' in the group buffer does not appear to update the unread article count (at least most of the time - I may have seen it do so once or twice). A '3 g' in the group buffer *does* update the unread article count and I can then download these articles with a 'J s' or 'J u'. Again, as previously mentioned, I can then go 'J j' and read the downloaded articles. Upon restarting gnus or conducting a 'g', however, the unread article count appears to revert to the figures that were correct *before* I downloaded the new articles. Looking in ~/News/agent/nntp/somewhere.com/agent.lib/active reveals that the numbers in respect of a given newsgroup do indeed reflect the number of unread articles *prior* to the last download??? The .agentview, .overview and article files in the /somewhere.com news hierarchy *do* show/contain the last downloaded articles. Shouldn't the .../somewhere.com/agent.lib/active file reflect what is contained in the agent news hierarchy files? Much puzzled. -- Mike.
