Uhm. I don't think Gnus should go check the archive group; that would take too long. However, you will be able to select these sparse nodes in the future, and that selection is done on Message-ID. So you could just set `gnus-refer-article-method' to the archive server in you mail groups, and *presto*. This'll fill out the line in the summary buffer with the proper information, even. -- Home is where the cat is.
