Re: Disappear Marks

A little bit more about this "marks thing" ...

I think that *this* is the explanation.

Reading more in 'info' I see:

    To turn caching on, set `gnus-use-cache' to `t'.  By default, all
    articles ticked or marked as dormant will then be copied over to
    your local cache (`gnus-cache-directory').

Currently, "C-h v gnus-cache-directory" returns `passive', *not* `t'.


I have a hunch that I lost my prior setting of `gnus-use-cache' during
a reinstall of Debian some months ago.  If I understand the above
correctly, my use of `!` *would* have provided the caching behavior
that I currently lack.

So maybe I wasn't *completely* wrong!  ;-)
