New marks stuff

New marks stuff

[Harry Putnam]

Is the new Marks stuff wreaking havoc with any ones setup?

Seems to have booggered up read unread.  All new mail now arrives and
never shows up as unread.  When looking in the actual directory I see
the new messages but gnus doesn't think they are new.

Seems that way. :-/

Do you see them marked as read in Gnus, or not at all?

Maybe you could try the edebug hint from my reply to Daniel.

Same here.  Is there a fix since Harry's message on Sunday?  I haven't
been following the discussion (wife in hospital, kids vomiting,
whee!).

Incoming mail in at least one group, may main "incoming" group, is
marked as read before I ever see it.  Now where's that pre-oort
tarball...

Yes, it's getting better.  But article previously marked for expiration
are back as 'unread'; maybe, it's considered to work this way the first
time you'll switch from an old Gnus to a recent version (with the new
mark stuff)?

No.

This sounds familiar to what some nnimap users has reported in the
past.  Maybe the expiring code doesn't call nnfoo-request-set-mark,
but simply updates the group info.

Do you still see it?  I'll try to reproduce it.

I marked the messages as read again and they seem to keep this status.
