Thanks!

Yeah.  Though I think the "Listing subcribed..." seems fairly
recent, like a release or two ago....

I don't think I've used this command before.  Something to play with.

Oh I agree.  Actually, that's why I was quiet about it for a while.
I was feeling kinda whiney.  ;-)

Here's something I was just playing with.  Has anybody ever set
`gnus-auto-extend-newsgroup'?  Kinda interesting.  I set this and
then pressed `N' after I knew that I had new mail waiting.  Sure
enough, it fetched the article and displayed it in my article
buffer.  However, point then jumped to the top of the Summary
buffer.  From then on, when ever I selected a message in that group,
the point in the Summary buffer was on the very next message.  Kinda
wild when deleting a message. ;-) This point jumping cleared up once
I entered into another folder, or simply reentered that folder.

When I reentered that folder, it appeared that the messages that
were fetched via the auto-extend were not read.  They had no mark on 
them at all.

Not a biggie, just something I found to be interesting while doing a 
little tinkering after the end of a really long day.
