Cool, I wasn't aware that it works for MIDs on Google.  I think
previously you had to type it into the MID field of the advanced
search.

I used to enter some random group and hit `j MID RET' upto now.

I don't think duplicating Gmane makes much sense, does it?  Maybe even
`(nnweb "google" ...)' causes the problem because it doesn't signal
"not found" correctly.  (Cf. the "FIXME" in
`nnweb-google-wash-article').

Yes, it should.  It works for me with...

,----[ <f1> v gnus-refer-article-method RET ]
| gnus-refer-article-method is a variable defined in `gnus.el'.

|  (nntp "news.belwue.de")

Bye, Reiner.
