Yes, this I know.

Hmmm ... I've been using `!' for *years*, and articles have been "cached".

Though I might be using the wrong terminology, the effect upon
returning to a group was I still had access to the '!'ed articles.

I never used `*' ... don't understand this ...

That's pretty clear.


Maybe there's some command (that's gone from my ".gnus.el") that also
allowed `!' to do the same thing as `*'?

Or, could the behavior of `!' and `*' changed in more recent versions
of 'gnus'?

Thanks for your efforts to help me with this!
