So it bugs you with a question. I think that Gnus could do better even with nntp groups. For example, there is a number for which Gnus knows that all articles less than this number are read. So the very old FAQ article with number 2 or so, which has long been read, does not count in this algorithm. I know that it will take some time to think about it, but I think things can be improved. kai -- A large number of young women don't trust men with beards. (BFBS Radio)
