Here's a few quick questions that I couldn't find the answer to in any
of the usual manuals.  Hopefully, somebody out there will enlighten
me.

I use gnus to read news, and I would like to save some articles into
MH-folders.  This is straightforward enough, using rcvstore.

Unfortunately, whenever an article is rcvstore'd, into any folder, it
is added to the "Unseen-sequence:" list of sequences for that folder,
which in my case is simply "unseen".

This is frustrating, since I use the unseen sequence to keep track of
how many mail messages I have received _and_not_read_yet_.  Since I
have almost always read the news article before deciding to save it, I
really don't want to have to physically mark all my news articles as
read from my mh-front end (which is slow enough already).

So the question is: How do I add something to an mh-folder without
adding it to the list of Unseen-sequences?  

I know I could remove the Unseen-sequence entry from my .mh_profile,
but then I would lose the ability to keep track of mail I have not
read yet (wouldn't I?).

Alternatively, I know I could call:

 mark -del -seq unseen `pick -seq unseen -list`

After I save each article, but this seems like the long-way around
when really all I want to do is not add it to "unseen" in the first
place. Not to mention that this is liabel to be slow... :(

Anybody have any better ideas?

There are a few different ways to keep rcvstore from updating your
unseen sequence.  I think the easiest might be to use an alternate MH
profile that has only a "Path:" entry (and no unseen-sequence: entry).
Store the pathname of this alternate profile in the MH environment
variable before you run rcvstore.  For example, if gnus calls the
Bourne shell to run rcvstore, give gnus this command:

        MH=/path/to/.mh_profile.rcvstore rcvstore +foldername

(The Bourne shell lets you set an environment variable temporarily at
the start of a command line.)  Fpr more info, check the MH book section
6.1.8, "Multiple MH Sessions."  On the Web, that's at:

use the '-sequence' option to 'rcvstore' to add the article to some
user-defined sequence
