Will this do? As I type this mail, it occurs to me that it doesn't cover the
expected combinations. All articles are marked NOT_DOWNLOADED when initially
created. They are further marked INTERESTING when read or an article that
references them is read, and both articles are known at the time of reading,
and once marked INTERESTING stay so marked. NOT_DOWNLOADED is removed after a
successful download. RETRIEVING_FAILED I think should only appear in
conjunction with both the others, and again is removed after a successful
download.

Q: What are the possible values of the X-NOFFLE-Status: header that
   Noffle adds to messages?

A: The X-NOFFLE-Status: header can contain one, two or all of the
   following, separated by spaces:

     INTERESTING
     - This message should be downloaded on the next fetch, if it has
       not been downloaded already.

     NOT_DOWNLOADED
     - The article has not yet been downloaded.

     RETRIEVING_FAILED
     - An attempt was made to retrieve the article from upstream, but
       the attempt failed.
