Sorry, but I didn't explain good enough. I have some groups that has
received more than 200 articles. I have been using B DEL to get rid of
old articles and now have about 20 articles left in these
groups. These articles are marked as read. Then, when I try to enter
the group, Gnus prompts me for a number of articles. It may say that
the dafult is 250, but since I have deleted them, only 20 or so
exists on my disk. That's what's bugging me.

Do you understand better now?

|  Gnus does not care when messages arrive; if you have 200+ unread

|  do not want older messages to be counted you must mark them as read or
|  expirable.

As I said above, there are only 20 read articles left in the group.


BTW: What do you use to cite messages? I liked your setup :-)
