Ah, okay. Thanks for the hint! I'll do so and try to change it.

Hm, I don't know when and especially why I should have done so but when
you say it must have happened like this I believe you.

Well, somehow it didn't work. I used "-1000" and also tried "C-u -1000"
and then entered the group and marked all articles as read but after
restarting Gnus the group buffer still says 0/0/82000 (unread/ticked/all
articles). Do you have another idea?
