Make nnagent remember data in calls to e.g. request-move-article and
invoke it when plugging back in (see `nnagent-request-set-mark' for an
approach to achieve this).  One problem is, which article number do
you assign new articles?  If the backend is e.g. nnimap, you cannot
simply pick one (since the server decides this) unless you do
something clever.  Using negative article numbers might work though,
although you must make sure moving the same article several times
between groups while unplugged doesn't make Gnus do strange things.
