I've been seeing this since 0.60.  It didn't happen prior to 0.56.  In
private mail with Lars, I convinced myself that Gnus was getting
confused when the head article was cancelled.  I'm no longer sure of
this.  I just had a 7 article group present 5 articles on entering.

Also, it'd be real neat if M-RET behaved like C-u SPC.  I.e., it
should not look at ticked/dormant article numbers.  Just fetching the
last n articles and presenting them w/o *any* further processing would
be _extremely_ useful.  As things stand, port 119 is the only way we
have of checking stuff; too time-consuming to be a real option for me.


BTW, the gnus-emphasise stuff simply rewlz.  Makes a huge difference
when reading and is easy to create when writing.  No hope of ever
making this standard, but it'd have been a really nifty, lightweight
mechanism that works on all UA's.
