Not sure. I thought the web archives may perhaps store articles forever
while the news server expires them after some time. But, of course, I
may be wrong...

Ah, I see. But the article I tested with can surely be found with
google, but it return an empty article when pressing RET on its
MID. (see <87psjuu1v6.fsf@baldur.nicundtas.de>)

But not for me. In <87psjuu1v6.fsf@baldur.nicundtas.de> I've cut down
gnus-refer-article-method to only current and google, but even then no
article will be found.

But with `G w RET <MID> RET' this article and all articles in
gnu.emacs.gnus where I mention this MID are found.
