GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 82724
failed bodies stay "unread"
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
if the download of a body fails, e.g. with error "Bad article number", the article should be marked as "read" so it won't get found by shortcut N a second time. this error occurs if your poll an article list and try to download the body later, after the expire-time on the server
I agree that the article should not get looked at by `next', but it shouldn't be marked read, because it hasn't been read. The `next' function should, in addition to checking if an article's unread, make sure the error flag (which causes that red x) isn't set.
