Extensive experimentation has revealed that the problem with unmarkable messages occurs if gnus-use-cache is set to nil and not if gnus-use-cache is set to 'passive. It happens in both nnfolder and nntp groups. (In the parameters to a topic containing nnfolder groups I set gnus-use-cache to nil, so that's why I thought it was specific to nnfolder groups.) Here's a trimmed .gnus for which the problem occurs: (setq gnus-nntp-server nil gnus-select-method '(nntp "news.jhu.edu") gnus-directory "~/Gnus" gnus-use-long-file-name t gnus-save-newsrc-file nil gnus-save-killed-list nil gnus-check-new-newsgroups nil gnus-check-bogus-newsgroups nil gnus-read-active-file 'some gnus-use-scoring nil gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnfolder "")) nnmail-spool-file nil nnfolder-directory "~/Gnus/Mail" nnfolder-active-file "~/Gnus/Mail/active" nnmail-use-long-file-names t ) (setq gnus-use-cache nil) Dan -- Dan Christensen jdc@math.jhu.edu
