	I used to notice this occasionally, and thought it was related
to crossposts or duplication or NoCeM.  But in 0.70 it's happening _a
lot_.  Also now sometimes when I enter a group, read all of the articles
and exit, the group buffer will say '1' instead of '0', but when I go
into it, nothing's there of course.

	But definitely with 0.70, I'm seeing that if I Gcc myself
something and also get the same message via mail, the odds seem high of
that thing showing up as 'already read'.  But I think it's also
happening with other incoming mail, so it's probably not just a gcc
problem.

	nnmail-split-history and the 'j' command in the summary window
helps me track down these errant messages, but I might be missing a lot
too.
