Sorry - my unclear explanation there :) In Gravity, it marks as READ
the server column COUNT held locally. But I can still reset that count
in the newsgroup properties (right-click on the newsgroup name) then re-
get posts that had previously been marked as read. In Pan, if I right
click on the newsgroup name, I only really have two options - either
mark the group as READ (but this doesn't update the COUNTS in the server
column) or Delete articles in this group which then clears BOTH the
local AND the server column counts to zero. But how do I then get stuff
back if I find I have missed something or want to refer back to an
earlier post?

See above for what I was trying to explain... <G>
