Well that was it.  I saw that neither of my nnimap servers, nor my
nntp server were any longer in agent.  So I ran J a on them and once
again gnus-agent-fetch-selected-article is working.  Unfortunately
another problem that I'd reported previously returned.  For some of my
nnimap groups, I am unable to get at new messages.  The group summary
shows some number of new messages and another imap client confirms
they are there.  But nothing I do with Gnus allows me to get them.
Other groups work fine.  Presumably it's still related to the breakage
I had with the generation of the .overview and .agentview files
earlier.  If my kids give me the time (:-) I'll try to step through
code/generate backtraces this weekend.  For now I've just re-removed
the servers from the agent.

A related issue: putting the servers back in the agent and entering a
group resulted in a big flashy rainbow of colors I'd never seen in
gnus before (:-) It's pretty, but IMO distracting.  Is there any way
to use the agent but turn off the visual cues (faces).  I would prefer
to just use the %O spec to give me that in a quieter fashion.

Thanks,
