This gives me the one extra non-expirable article state I'd like to have (i.e. read and cached). The problem right now is that caching an article means that I can no longer presume that all my mail articles for a given group will be in a single directory (if I'm using nnml and I want to use shell tools to do stuff, etc.). I was wondering (and perhaps it's just a monumentally bad idea), if it might be possible to add support to allow cached mail articles to just be stored in the normal mail folder (i.e. don't move them, but don't let them be expired) rather than putting them into the cache heirarchy...
