Subject: 23.0.60; Rmail's `g' command marks old messages ``unseen''
Date: Sat, 31 Jan 2009 18:58:18 +0200

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug <at> gnu.org mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

Copy newly arrived mail to a file, let's call it mail.new.  In an
Rimail buffer, type "C-u g mail.new RET" to get the new mail.  Type
`n' and/or `p' to walk through all the new messages, so that no one of
them is marked ``unseen'' anymore (as witnessed by their color in the
rmail-summary buffer and by the absence of the "-" character to the
right of the message numbers).

Now type "C-u g mail.new" again, to read the new mail again => some of
the previously read messages become ``unseen'' again: their color
changes and they acquire the "-" character to the right of their
number.

If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
d:/gnu/emacs/etc/DEBUG for instructions.

I think this means that the right place to set the "unseen" attribute
is when _creating_ the header field that records the attributes.

    * mail/rmailsum.el (rmail-summary-mark-seen): New function.  As well
    as removing the '-' mark, update the summary-vector.  (Bug#2135)
    (rmail-summary-rmail-update, rmail-summary-goto-msg):
    Use rmail-summary-mark-seen.
