That should read: Check for stored article as in
gnus-agent-store-article in -agent-fetch-selected-article, before
fetching. Well, the previous code (or a new hook) seems better :|

Subject: [PATCH] Fix "Don't eagerly store articles in the Agent by default"

* lisp/gnus/gnus.el: (gnus-agent-eagerly-store-articles-by-default)
new variable. When gnus-agent is non-NIL and when reading an agentized
newsgroup, +automatically cache the article in the agent cache

* lisp/gnus/gnus-art.el: (gnus-request-article-this-buffer,
gnus-async-article-callback): use it.

reverted in e2ece082732323738e56046a7bd667e5f9126ced

Thank you all!

I think I understand why: people could be using it that way already. But
keeping it nil could make correcting the documentation inconsistencies I
mentioned easier: one would merely have to add the new option to a
couple of those sections without much rewriting...
