I must be misunderstanding something basic here, because you and I
seem to be saying the same things here.  Only we're disagreeing.  :-)

So, here's what I see happening:

When downloading groups, nnagent:

1) Always downloads all headers, and
2) Uses a scoring scheme to say what articles to download, and
   also downloads articles that have been manually marked for
   download, no matter what their scores are.

The scoring scheme can be any normal Gnus scoring scheme -- "From",
"Lines", "Subject", whatever.  All headers to all articles (downloaded
or not) will of course appear in the summary buffer.  Unless you want
them to.
