If the message header has been downloaded already (due to (setq
gnus-fetch-old-headers t), perhaps), then hitting ^ will show that
message and all will be fine.
But if the message header has NOT been downloaded already, then Gnus
fetches the message by giving the message id, and then assigns an
arbitrary article number of -1.
But ticking needs the real article number.
This problem should be solved, but it is not trivial: due to
crossposting and Followup-To, the article fetched with ^ might come
from a different group entirely.
Would you like to work on this?
