Yes, that's what was meant by "persistent article" -- you tap some
key, and the article will forever remain in the group, untouched by
the server expiry process.  (I.e., it's put in the cache.)

I agree with you that caching should be dissociated from the marks.
I'm currently leaning towards just adding two enter/exit commands, and
an "*" would be displayed in the second column of the screen (where
"#" and "A" are displayed.  A bit crowded, perhaps.  :-)  

So caching would be totally disconnected from the readedness marks.  

... hey, the `*' key is free!  Miracles of miracles... `*' to enter an
article into the cache and `M-*' to remove it?  

This would be in addition to the current way of doing things, of
course.
