Although, Lars, I've noticed another problem with the agent where the
summary buffers get confused when you do a 'g J s', time passes, 'g J
j', enter group.

I think the new articles fetched by the last g are not shown (if I
remember correctly) at all.  I guess gnus doesn't have the headers, so 
this makes some sense.  However, I think that when you do a catch up
(in the summary buffer, not the group buffer) it marks the new ones
(not shown) as read as well, which is wrong.  I'm pulling most of this 
from memory as I noticed it last month or something like that and
never submitted a bug report.  Anyway, the entry to the problem is the 
same if the actual problem description is not quite correct.

And hence my suggestion to at least mark them as % on an attempted
read command with a following (message "... marked for download").
