I think I wasn't clear enough. The problem with the approach you're
suggesting is that I'd have to have all newsgroups in duplicate. For
example I'd have both nntp+news.chello.nl:gnu.emacs.gnus and
nntp+news.tue.nl:gnu.emacs.gnus and marking an article as read in one
would not mark it as read in the other. Or am I just missing something?
Kind regards,
