Correct. They're suppressed for display in favor of the new ones. Why
representing again those read messages -- there may be really many of
them and it may slow down the process and make the screen much more
messy.

But if you want to see, say, 97 read messages while there're 3 unread,
enter the group with C-u 100 (ret|space). If you want to see both new
and old, but all of them, emit 100. That's simply C-u (ret|space).

So, you can read them, but they're not displayed by default -- and I
think, that's made for a good reason. If you used some other newsreader
(say, slrn; IMO, Mozilla doesn't look much like MUA or newsreader, as
well as Outlook -- and therefore it shouldn't be used as such), you'd
notice, this is a common behaviour.

 -> Messages which I did not read before, I have to  download again

Err... ``Download'' -- what do you mean? Do you use agent or what?

``The common way'' is simply to either read or kill all the new news, so
there're no new ones remaining.
