Hm.  Caching?

Oh, I thought you were talking about the download categories (i.e., what
happens when you type `J s').

Let's see...  caching...  so if you're online (in an agentised group)
and select an article, you want the article to be saved in the Agent
directory?  That sounds eminently reasonable, and I thought that was
supposed to happen, but I can't find any code for doing that...  hm...
Nope.

Articles are entered into the (non-agent) cache if `gnus-use-cache' is
set to t, though.
