You're quite right. I just did a 'noffle -a all' and got several recent
articles with empty X-NOFFLE-Status, so I've missed a bit of analysis somewhere.

Oh, of course. If a group is subscribed in 'full', articles will be downloaded
regardless of their INTERESTING status. So, since I subscribe to everything in
'full', only the articles I've actually read should have an INTERESTING status.
I'll update the FAQ text.

Not right now, I'm afraid. Fiddling with outgoing will stop it being downloaded
on the next fetch (I think), but it will remain marked as INTERESTING and get
added to the queue again.

I really should do something about that. How does this sound - add a new
option,

        -U, --uninteresting <msgid>

to allow you to remove the interesting tag from an article and remove it from
the current requested queue, if on it.

I suppose

        -b, --boring <msgid>

could be a synonym :-)
