I reported the following bad behaviour of the current agent which prevents me from using oort gnus: If you 'B Del' an article it shows up later in the summary. Wes Hardaker did proposed to regularaly run gnus-agent-expire which is IMNSHO mere bandaid. I do consider this a real bug which is AFAIK not fixed and should prevent you from setting gnus-agent to t per default. Greetings Christoph
