This is an irritant I've run into often enough to cause this post.
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.
