ah OK. that would have worked for the particular instance I was
thinking of anyway. In fact I just forwarded the message
to myself and cached the new copy (though with your way it owuld have
been in the right group--a news group).
But how come gnus can't operate on the retrieved messages? For
caching, couldnt gnus just save the message in a file?
Anyway thanks for the advice from everyone who responded.
