Maybe this patch helps? I'm not really sure what would happen, you
can't add articles to remote servers when unplugged, but maybe nnagent
takes care of it somehow and adds the article to the local nnml group.
Which might not be very useful, but anyway..

Thanks. Looks good so far. Gnus claims to be expiring articles when
I'm running unplugged, but they show up again when plugged. Which is
fine by me since they will be moved when running the expiry process
online anyway.

It would maybe become a problem if you implemented offline deletion,
if expiry caused articles to be deleted without being added to the
target group.
