I was able to reproduce this problem on my computer. What I found was that fetch session would, using the agent predicate, select articles for automatic fetching (So far, so good). Unfortunately, some of these articles could not be fetched as they had expired on my server. The problem is that these articles still satisfy the agent predicate so, every time I invoke fetch session, gnus-agent tries to fetch them. So, here's a question for the group, should gnus-agent-fetch-session mark articles that it fails to fetch as read? If so, what mark should I use? ancient,killed,del,expirable Kevin
