I don't recall why I wrote it in this way. Normally I prefer MIDs. Maybe because I found the articles using Gmane's search interface (alas, nobody has updated Gnus `nnweb.el' yet for Gmane's new search interface) and I was too lazy to get the MID from the raw article. Or maybe I just wanted to test if the nntp URL and `gnus-fetch-old-ephemeral-headers' work. :) > it's really annoying if you're not using gmane and reading > off-line[1]. What's wrong with a message-ID? If not using Gmane in `gnus-refer-article-method', you won't be able to fetch the article anyhow. Users of other clients (e.g. Mozilla) don't even have a builtin method for fetching by MID, but nntp or http URLs should work in this case. But you are right, that different users have different preferences. Therefore, I'd like to let the user choose his preferred form, if possible. > [1] Also, if gmane ever disappears, noone will be able to track the > reference. Hm? If Gmane will ever would disappear (why?), the messages from `gmane.discuss' will probably disappear too, I guess.
