It's not totally reproducable, at least I don't know how to reproduce it on demand. However it continues to happen so apparently some set of circumstance will provoke it. Seems like it might be a case of gnus listening to the wrong information source. Circumstances I do know about: While unplugged: Mark a message that was not retrieved by download score rules with %. In semi-recent and up Oort one can then (theoreticlally) while in the same summary buffer, press `J j' to go plugged then `J u' to download current group, and snag any messages with % marks. Then return to unplugged with `J j'. If I then try to access that message later when unplugged I get the `G' symbol and am told it has either been expunged or is not available. But wait, I just down loaded it a few moments ago. Somehow gnus doesn't believe that. But a search of the directory shows the message is in fact there. None the less, gnus obstinately tells me it isn't. Even if I press `j' and feed it the article number or message id. Seems like some record gnus is looking at is giving it bad information.
