New mail message did not appear in *Group* buffer (sgnus 0.21)

New mail message did not appear in *Group* buffer (sgnus 0.21)

[Richard Stanton]

I just pressed "g" to read new mail (and news). Most of the group
totals were updated in the *Group* buffer, but the last message to
arrive should have been allocated to nnbabyl:mail.emacs, yet this
group (which was not displayed at the time, since it had zero unread
messages) was not updated. 

I then displayed the group (pressing "L") and pressed ESC-g, but
nothing changed. I went to look at the rmail buffer, and found that
the message was there, and that the group headers had been correctly
added. When I went back to the *Group* buffer and pressed ESC-g again,
the message counter was this time changed from 0 to 1.

Odd.

The group in question doesn't live on a high level?  If Gnus only
activates foreign groups on level 4 and down and this group is on
level 5, this is exactly the behavior you'd see...
