That doggone pile of lisp won't even download a `%' marked article when
it is expunged from the server..... just kidding.

Trying just now, on some old near expunged messages that my predicate
didn't download, I get good ( the expected) results.  But there have
been occasions when this did not work.  I will try to report on one
when it next happens.  Assuming it wasn't something like my opening
joke at work.
