That's what I also expected, but it doesn't seem to be the case.  I
installed an advice for gnus-alter-articles-to-read-function, and also
verified that the advice worked correctly, but it didn't do that.  After
reading the code a bit, I got the impression that
`gnus-alter-articles-to-read-function' is for controlling what articles
are fetched (additionally) from the server, but not which are shown in
the summary.


Michael.
