The reports usually had to do with read marks in nntp groups and, since the nntp backend was recently updated to support marks, I generally concluded that these were due to operator error. That conclusion was even more certain when I was never able to reproduce the problem. As it turns out, these people were correct. I've now updated both gnus-agent and nnagent to address the problem. However, this fix impacts all backends while I've only tested with nntp. If you run into any unexpected behavior with offline flags, please post so that I can address it. Kevin
