If a message id is not found on the server, the following patch will
then try to fetch the message from Google (in a separate browser
window). Just something that came up in Sfnet :)

This should probably be an option. It might be annoying for people
with metered access.

It already _is_ an option:

This is a great feature! While playing with it, here are some
problems I noticed. I hit ^ to make Gnus find a news article that had
expired from one of my nntp groups. Gnus used google to bring the
article in, and the article looked fine, except that it had a few
garbage characters at the bottom. Then I used `B c' to copy the
article to an nnfolder group, and there the article didn't appear
in the summary because it was corrupted: there is a garbage line
in the second line of the header, and there is garbage at the end.
I've attached the article as it appear in my nnfolder file.
Another minor comment: Gnus won't let me `!' an article, but it
will let me `d' and `E' it. Not sure if this inconsistency is
intentional.
And a final comment: each time I view the article, Gnus downloads
it again from google. I guess avoiding this would be difficult?

This seems to be a URL bug:
(url-insert-file-contents
"http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=1f8fd51.1sjfq9b1u3kq7yN%tells@nowhere.invalid&output=gplain")
returns a trailing ^M.
If I fetch the URL with wget, there is no ^M.

I think so, the article doesn't have an article number so it is difficult
to mark. The reason d and E work is probably that it already was marked
as read, so pressing d or E doesn't result in any action.
> And a final comment: each time I view the article, Gnus downloads

The backlog doesn't handle non-integer articles. In fact, the backlog
doesn't seem get invoked at all when I fetch articles using nnweb.

I don't receive any garbage (^M) with my version of url.el [1]. For
both MIDs (Simon's <1f8fd51.1sjfq9b1u3kq7yN%tells@nowhere.invalid> and
Dan's <3CA3D327.8090306@onlinetesting.net>), I receive correct
articles using the above mentioned call of `url-insert-file-contents'.

cvs up (of url) solved the problem for me. Sorry for the false alarm.

Simon,
When I try to cvs update either url or w3, for the last (several)
mnths. I get this message:
cvs server: Updating .
cvs server: cannot open directory /cvs/url: No such file or directory
cvs server: skipping directory
And no update occurs. Trying a new checkout gives me
/cvs/url: no such repository.
Maybe I'm using an old address?
cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvs
That is the one that appears in url/CVS/Root
Ditto w3.

Try :pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/url. (and s/url/w3/)

I just did a cvs up of url, w3 and gnus, and that fixed most of the
problem. I still get a ^M at the bottom of the message, but that
doesn't affect the functioning of Gnus as the headers are fine.
My url.el says 1.12 at the top, and url-version is "Exp".
Thanks for the help!

IMHO, adding (nnweb "" (nnweb-type google)) into
gnus-refer-article-method is a better solution.

You need the URL and/or W3 package. (W3-4.0pre47 or so includes URL,
W3 from CVS does not include URL, so you need URL from CVS, as well.)
