Usually you'd mark the articles or threads as ticked (`!' is the usual
keyboard shortcut).  Then they won't go away after they've been read.

In addition, you can bring back pieces of a thread with `^' (parent
article) or `A T' (whole thread).  Explore the Gnus menus for more
related operations.

Is this what you need?  Or do you really want to always see old
articles?
