The only consistent way to archive articles in place with mails and
news is to use "*" to cache them.

Initially yes, there will be two copies, but one will be soon
expired. To me, consistent interface is more important than disk space
used for a few duplicated messages.

Tapping "*" on the article ignores this variable as well as
gnus-use-cache thus unconditionally stores the article in cache.
The only workaround is to settle down for two interfaces for archiving
in mails and news: '?' for nnfolder group and '*' for nntp group
(passive caching) and keep reminding myself which backend I'm using.

Tony
