An elegant if complicated solution would be to provide a preference to 
allow people to map behaviors onto errors.  I would like to immediately 
delete articles that give the "bad article number" error (423, IIRC), 
but most others I would like to retry after a few minutes.  (I use a 
dial-up connection that isn't particularly reliable.)
