No, I mean - don't delete the articles that *are* in the buffer, just
don't limit anymore. That is, errrm... Maybe this is what I mean:
I don't want the "number of articles" limit to affect articles that are
marked somehow: ticked, dormant, cached articles.
Yea. That's it. Maybe. Something like that, anyway.

Yup. I was thinking of *keeping* the limit after the group has been
entered and the initial articles to display have been chosen, sort of.
See above.
