I haven't tested that, but.. in the past the quirks on fail-2-mark-as-read
have been due to no per-server-per-group message numbering (xref: header).
That's obviously what PAN uses for mark-as-read, altho it actually stores
the messages (as opposed to the overviews) by msg-id.
One potential way around the problem would be to configure INN or another
news server locally, set it to do the caching PAN does now (and even run
as a daemon and get the news as it comes in to your groups rather than
having to have PAN fetch it), and of course to assign its own xref:
headers, set PAN to a very small cache, and then have PAN read off your
local server. PAN would then see the xrefs assigned locally and be able
to mark-as-read normally.
