This goes well beyond my very limited knowledge so I did an experiment. I went to the gmail web interface and found an already-opened message in the All Mail folder (really a label) that I knew for certain I had originally opened in gnus, so therefore gnus would have known about the message. I marked it unread (on the web) and moved it back to INBOX. Then I started up gnus and gnus saw the message as an unread INBOX message. Based on this it appears the answer is yes, gnus did update the status of this previously seen email. However I don't know how much if any status information gnus actually keeps (and I don't use the registry) so this may or may not be meaningless. It certainly seems as if, when reopening the group subsequent to shutting down gnus at some point, gnus gets a fresh set of information. -- Bob Newell Honolulu, Hawai`i - Via GNU/Linux/Emacs/Gnus/BBDB
