I have a newsgroup where the listing in the left pane shows some unread messages. I created a rule to display unread messages in this group, and none display. I have manually gone through each thread in the newsgroup and there are no messages flagged as unread. Nevertheless, the newsgroup in the left pane shows 2 of them. When I select mark all as read, then the icon in the left pane shows no unread messages.
Any idea what’s happening. Is this a bug? If not where are ( and how do I find) the unread messages?

It's a bug. Newsgroups regularly show a few messages in bold although none are unread, Just go on displaying only unread messages and mark all as read when you've read all of them.
Actually, it’s not a bug. It means that there are unread messages that are on the server, but you haven’t downloaded. You can click the toolbar button to download more. The account settings let you set how many messages will be downloaded when you connect.
Selecting mark all as read marks the undownloaded messages as read as well, so it doesn’t show an unread count.
