Mmmh, as i have only the nnweb  method defined, i guess it must be a problem
for a recent article that is not archived by Google yet.
But i had that problem for several days old articles too.

I used to  cache articles through the agent,  but i rid it off  about a week
ago due to access time and  excessive articles downloads at group opening. I
have never noticed any problem with the fetch parent while using the agent.

I suppose  that gnus  implicitly fetched from  the agent  and if not  in the
agent then from google.

BTW :  as i can see  some specific group names  in your example,  do you set
gnus-refer-article-method on a per-group basis ?

Okay, i'll take a look at your code tonight and post my results.

Thank you :)
