Ah. I see. If you're in online mode, when you go to a group the group is
scanned but in overview mode only. So the article bodies aren't put on the to
be fetched list and are never fetched.

You're right that things should be working that way.

Looking at the code, it should be easy to fix. I'll see if I can do it soon.
I've got a couple of Noffle things that have been awaiting some free time,
chiefly a RPM spec file from Carles Arjona that will actually work with RH7.x
which I've sat on far too long (sorry Carles and all - I can only plead a
frantic time at work lately).

So, watch this space.
