This seems to be a URL bug: (url-insert-file-contents "http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=1f8fd51.1sjfq9b1u3kq7yN%tells@nowhere.invalid&output=gplain") returns a trailing ^M. If I fetch the URL with wget, there is no ^M. > 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. I think so, the article doesn't have an article number so it is difficult to mark. The reason d and E work is probably that it already was marked as read, so pressing d or E doesn't result in any action. > And a final comment: each time I view the article, Gnus downloads > it again from google. I guess avoiding this would be difficult? The backlog doesn't handle non-integer articles. In fact, the backlog doesn't seem get invoked at all when I fetch articles using nnweb.
