One word of warning. Setting gnus-agent-mark-unread-after-downloaded to nil triggers a bug in the the agent. I've checked-in a patch but will need some early adopters to verify that it works for all. > The really odd thing now is that all the articles I newly download > seem to be immediately marked as "ancient"; they show up weirdly > colored in the summary buffer. > > Anybody have a clue why that could be? The agent has three faces and a format specifier to highlight articles that have NOT been downloaded. The faces appear by default while the format specifier must be added through customization. If you don't like using colors to indicate the undownloaded articles, you can customize gnus-summary-highlight. Just remove the three cons cells that refer to gnus*undownloaded-face. If you want to use +/- markers you can add %O to gnus-summary-line-format. You're the first to describe newly downloaded articles as being marked as "ancient". Also that those articles are being highlighted. Try downloading the latest gnus-agent.el or set gnus-agent-mark-unread-after-downloaded to t. Kevin
