8 January...Yikes

Using enews.newsguy.com...as a foreign server in gnus, I see your
message of 10:35 today on gnu.emacs.gnus and I see 5 since Jan 8, the
most recent being May 4

Sorry I'm not really helping with your request.  But thought you might
like the input about gnu.emacs.gnus.

Also, you might learn something by checking the server buffer with `^'
in group buffer.

But I kind of doubt anything there would make all messages appear as
old.
