Starting with caught up group, on-line, checking new news 'g' found
one new message.  'G E' Reports:

("nntp+netnews.att.net:comp.lang.lisp" 5
 ((1 . 134220))
 ((seen
   (134215 . 134220)))
 "nntp:netnews.att.net")

Download message, exit gnus, exit emacs.  Now restart emacs and start
reading news offline.  Still see one new message. 'G E' reports:

("nntp+netnews.att.net:comp.lang.lisp" 5
 ((1 . 134220))
 ((seen
   (134215 . 134220)))
 "nntp:netnews.att.net")

Unchanged.  Read the message (still offline). 'G E' reports:

("nntp+netnews.att.net:comp.lang.lisp" 5
 ((1 . 134221))
 ((seen
   (134215 . 134221)))
 "nntp:netnews.att.net")

So far so good.  Now go online 'J j' and download new news, see: one
new message: 'G E' Reports:

("nntp+netnews.att.net:comp.lang.lisp" 5
 ((1 . 134220))
 ((seen
   (134215 . 134221)))
 "nntp:netnews.att.net")

Previous message is now considered unread but seen!  Unfortunately
this is not always repeatable, and a new message needs to be seen when
new news is checked to trigger this error.
