Pan shouldn't do that under normal circumstances -- it tries to delete
the oldest or longest-since-read-by-user Articles first when the cache
gets full, so the current article should still have been cached.

   * What version of Pan are you using?
   * Can make Pan repeat this behavior?
   * How large is your disk cache set to?
   * If so, can you look at ~/.pan/data/cache and make sure the article
     is there?
   * If not, is your cache full?  Did you have anything else going on,
     such as a big queued decode, that might've temporarily filled it?
