I think Gnus should support both client side user flags, saved in the .newsrc and server side user flags, saved in the group for those servers that support it. Server side flags are really useful, and they could be implemented as special Annotations that Gnus provides keystrokes for entering and Gnus recognizes when generating Summary buffers. greg
