Hi, Nick.
Of course, you are fully right in that the article is still there, and
likely unexpired. But in practice, from my viewpoint, it is not there
anymore: I do not usually enter groups by C-u SPC. While possible, it
is unusual that I want to find and read again an article which I once
decided has been read for good.
If I search all mailgroups for a certain string, and randomly check
hits, I do not want these articles I check to later have disappeared
from sight in practice. I was not really in the process of reading
articles, but merely checking on them. It would not make sense that Org
removes lines that I visit after a grep, and when grepping through many
files, would they be Org, non-Org, mailboxes or articles in mailgroups,
I am in a mode where I do not expect any kind of altering behaviour.
François
