What happens to me is a little different, I think, but may be related to the same issue. 1: I start reading news 2: One of the kids or my wife needs attention 3: In the interim the connection to the nntp server times out 4: I come back and try to read the next article ; it is bogusly marked deleted 5: I try to go to the next next article, gnus realizes the connection is gone, reestablishes it and properly finds that article. 6: I unmark the previously bogusly marked article and successfully read it. I should note that it is necessary to read a different article before unmarking and reading it, presumably because there's a bogus article buffer associated with it, but I haven't done enough troubleshooting to be sure My workaround is to recognize the likely hood of a server time out and M-: (gnus-close-server "newsguy") RET M-: (gnus-open-server "newsguy") RET Before trying to read anything when I get back to gnus. I've been seeing this for a long time now, much longer than Oort 0.7, probably even before Oort but I'm less certain of that. I've not been using Gnus at home for nearly as long as at work and don't recall what was current when I set up at home. -- Dave Goldberg david.goldberg6@verizon.net
