However, when selectively finding out if there are any new articles to download for a given group via an `M-g' I've noticed that the `groups' file in the appropriate news directory does *not* get updated as it does when doing just a `g' in the group buffer. This means that having downloaded news articles for a given group and then exiting and restarting gnus, the last lot of downloaded articles will not be visible when entering the group as the `groups' file is still as was *before* these articles were downloaded. This can't be right - can it? -- Mike.
