Hmm..  I think you are correct.  I've been having them d/l to cache lately, 
then view them in the group, then save them if desired, then delete them, so 
they seldom show up in the other group by the time I get back to it, as 
they've already been deleted, so they wouldn't show up marked read or saved 
or not.  Some time ago, back when the max cache size in the GUI was 1G, I was 
doing more multi-parts, and saved them directly then, because the cache 
wouldn't hold them all and by the time I finished d/ling, all but one or two 
parts of the first messages were expired to make room for newer messages.  
That didn't work to well, so I saved directly to disk back then, but with the 
larger cache size now, and doing less multi-parts right now, I've been doing 
it all in cache first, and deleting them from there, so I haven't noticed the 
effect you mention, and had forgotten what I'd read mentioning it earlier.
