Well, hitting `?' marks an article as dormant. And then the question
is what does Gnus _do_ with articles marked as dormant? The answer is
that (1) the articles are considered unread so they are not expired,
not even when total-expire is on, (2) if gnus-use-cache is t, hitting
`?' enters an article into the cache, and finally, the thing that you
are thinking about, (3) dormant articles aren't shown by default,
except if there is a followup or you hit `/ D' or something like this.
Does that explain things?
