If I enter a group and hit '^' to fetch the parent of an article, if it was
not already in the summary buffer, then I cannot mark it. Specifically,
sometimes I'll enter a group, decide I want to mark w/ a '?' a specific
thread, so get parents with either ^ or 'A T', but either way, ? gives me
the message:
Can't mark negative article numbers
This is with oort from cvs this morning.

When fetching by Message-ID, most news servers does not tell Gnus what
the article number of the message is. So Gnus has no way to mark
these articles.

Maybe Gnus can look in the Xref header?

Gnus does that (see `nntp-find-group-and-number'), but for some
reason, some news servers do not include the Xref header when you
fetch the article by Message-ID.
