Well, that could be. How do you think it would happen? Is it the server
rather than the news client that keeps track of "Read" and "Unread" for
everyone? That seems unlikely. I know that POP mail servers use something
called POPpers, which all work differently (one of my mail servers marks
"Read" correctly when I've downloaded once from that account and will obey a
Rule i have in place to mark as read when I download the same messages from
my other computer, but my regular ISP's mail server can't do this.) I don't
see how a news server could keep track of all its thousands and thousands of
users.
Does anyone know how this works?
