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! ;-) -Kenneth
