Were the messages marked as Read before you left the newsgroup
yesterday?
Marking messages that you viewed as read is dependent on your setting at
Tools, Options, Read, Mark messages as read after displaying for xx
seconds.
Or are you using Mark all messages as read when exiting a newsgroup?
My experience has been that intermittently, activity done in WLM shortly
before closing it does not always get written to disk in the
Mail.MSMessageStore file.
