By all means, I would like that moved articles recover their "unread" status. What is the purpose of moving articles that Gnus would carefully keep out of my sight (unless I take extraordinary measures to read them)? I would grant that Saved or Answered status be kept with the article while they get moved. But definitely, I would not like any read mark on them. The status of being tickled or dormant might be preserved or lost, yet I would vote for loosing these, given the choice. I definitely decide afresh for every moved article how I want it to get lost: when moving an article, the last thing I want is to virtually loose it, as it does not get shown. I made a few local patches to my copy of Gnus, still 0.95, trying to erase "readness" just before moving. It was unbearable before. So, I receive as very good news that Gnus does recover the unread status spontaneously, now. I would be tempted to call a bug whenever it does otherwise... -- François Pinard http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~pinard
