If you're using more than Gnus, therefore, they don't know that the other is changing marks. I think this is a bug, and opened a bug report for it, but haven't gotten around to trying to cook up a solution. Another trick is to edit group parameters, delete the "active" cons, then do a "M-g" on the group. Eric
