read them and so on.). Its a bug once this is set it should not change
for any reason unless you do so yourself
Hi,
neither deleting "News.CIS.DFN.DE.msf" for the group (no new one has
been created after new Seamonkey start) neither deleting the
"name.of.newsgroup.msf" files (new ones have been created after new
Seamonkey start)healed my problem.

Please note that the .msf file for a newsgroup carries information
about which news articles are available on the server, the article
Subjects and possibly their new (just downloaded status), and other
flags, BUT NOT their read/unread status.
The list of read articles is kept in the record for the newsgroup,
in the .rc file for that news profile.
If the article # appears in the .rc file then the article is assumed
as read, whether or not it is still present on the server.
I believe that the permanent, disk, copy of the .rc file is rewritten/
saved when one switches to a different news profile (or exits SM),
and possibly more often. But I am unsure!
So an improperly updated .rc file may be to blame for your symptoms.
