In unplugged (agent) mode Due to not fully grokked conditions of some sort, possibly having marked as read while plugged or in some way overlooked, score filed, or whatever, certain messages that did not get downloaded. Later deciding to retrieve such messages, doesn't always work. Under some condition, I think these messages are seen as being already downloaded or expired or something. At any rate, they do not get downloaded by marking %. Even if marked as unread. I want gnus to downloaded % marked articles, regardless of any other consideration except being expired from the server. That is, marking with % should override any record gnus has of that message, and get it downloaded. Even if it is a duplicate, then overwrite the old one. How can I manage this?
