Hi Miner,

As you see there is no new messages in group. However, Sylpheed
will highligh the group like there is a new message. How to avoid
such behaviour?

If Sylpheed wants the information, it has to count the number of messages:

LISTGROUP somegroup1
211 1 1 1 somegroup1
.

It will see that no article numbers are returned.

At least, this behaviour will work with all news servers. (Note that
this behaviour complies with NNTP standard, it is not a bug.)

As for INN specifically, we spoke last year with Paolo of a suggestion
to have nnrpd count and advertise the real number when the estimated
number is inferior to a value given in a "groupexactcount" parameter in inn.conf and readers.conf (set to 5 by default).

I think it would be helpful. Thanks for rising that subject again.
I'll maybe prioritize it.
