I have a similar problem with nntp. The agent fetches the
articles. But when I enter such a group, many articles are marked
with the @. I must unmark them with M-u to read them the normal
way. This works, because they are already downloaded.

Does anyone have an idea how to get rid of the @-marks.

By the way, gnus behaves like this since I switched to oort.
