 this is a bug in Gnus. Sometimes it helps to remove all ".newsrc" and
 similar files on ones home directory and restarting Gnus.

 Here is a proposal for changing some key-bindings.

-2. Using Noffle as a Mail-News Gateway
---------------------------------------
-
-In combination with procmail, Noffle can be used to gateway all
-mails from a maillist to a local newsgroup.
-This is convenient for filtering out maillists from your personal emails.
-The local group is created without postings allowed,
-so mails to the maillist must be sent by email.
-This is not a big problem, since most newsreaders allow choosing between
-a reply and a followup.
-
-2.1 Create a local group
-------------------------
-
-Example:
-
-    noffle --create local.mail-lists.my-maillist-name
-    noffle --modify post local.mail-lists.my-maillist-name n
-
-2.2 Create a mail2news script
------------------------------
-
-You need a program that reads an article from stdin and posts it to
-the local group. E.g. the following Python script will post an article
-read from stdin to the newsgroup given as the first argument:
+1.13 knode
+----------
 
-    #!/usr/bin/python
-    # Post article from stdin to noffle in group given as first argument.
-    import StringIO, nntplib, os, sys
-    if len(sys.argv) != 2: raise Exception("Need group as argument")
-    grp = sys.argv[1]
-    buf = StringIO.StringIO()
-    buf.writelines("Newsgroups: " + grp + "\n")
-    buf.write(sys.stdin.read())
-    buf.seek(0)
-    os.system("/usr/local/bin/noffle --modify post " + grp + " y")
-    srv = nntplib.NNTP("localhost")
-    srv.group(grp)
-    srv.post(buf)
-    srv.quit
-    os.system("/usr/local/bin/noffle --modify post " + grp + " n")

-2.3 Create an entry in .procmailrc
-----------------------------------
-
-Add a procmail entry for recognizing mails from the maillist and
-posting it using mail2news.
-
-Example of a ~/.procmailrc:
-
-    PATH=/bin:/usr/bin
-    MAILDIR=$HOME/Mail
-    LOGFILE=$MAILDIR/procmail.log
-
-    :0
-    * ^To.*my-maillist-name@lists.somewhere.org
-    |/usr/local/bin/mail2news local.mail-lists.my-maillist-name
+Setting the number of days to cache an article to 0 in Options/Read News
+prevents the article being cached between knode sessions.
