Do you have the agent enabled for this server?  If so, try turning it
off for a short test.  Open the group containing the original article
with the agent turned off.  Does the article still appear?  If so, can
you specify the precise command that you used?  The only time I use
nnimap is when I'm testing agent problems so I may not know how to
reproduce an obvious example.
