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?
