If its not fixed, it should be pointed out in the manual with extremely large bold font size=2000 letters. I'm happy I noticed it when I was operating on a newsgroup and not on a mail folder. I actually consider it a pretty serious bug. You'll miss mail/news if you don't know about it, which is a very bad thing. And you won't notice it if the group is large (I noticed it because I was expecting like 10 articles and only got 5 upon entering the group). The correct solution would be to not catch up articles that aren't shown in the summary buffer (ie, if the # unread was 20 and the agent had only information on 15 of them, then after catchup and exit of those 15 the # unread should drop to 5 not 0). -- "Ninjas aren't dangerous.
