I haven't switched away from Evolution (I'm on Ubuntu Lucid) because of a bunch of little confusions/trepidations, but I'm getting close. One thing stopping me is the article summary list. I'm finding it very confusing to look at, largely because the "read" status of messages is not remembered between Gnus invocations. Every time I open the group all the messages are unmarked. As I read them they turn bright blue-green and get a "R" in the margin. Next time I open the group they're all unmarked again. This seems backwards to me: shouldn't unread messages be marked specially, then unmarked as you read them? And then that status remembered somehow? Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks! Eric
