Do you use expiring?  It would fit the algorithm, since expire is a
mark.

        The current algorithm for selecting what to download is
        interesting.  It downloads all articles that are UNREAD or
        FLAGGED (ie all flags other than read), but ONLY those with a
        article number higher than the highest local (previously
        downloaded to the Agent) article.
