Yeah.  It's unfortunate.  I think that there are plans to change the
Agent so that it looks at cached articles in addition to the
downloaded ones.  So you could just go offline and enter the group at
that point.

But it seems that what you want is to use the Agent, instead of the
cache, to work offline.

(Currently, I think it works to enter a group, then use `Y c', to see
cached articles while offline (unplugged).)
