X-NOFFLE-Status in gnus summaries: success

OK, then an empty X-NOFFLE-Status must mean the article has already
been downloaded, I hope.

Well I wish X-NOFFLE-Status flags were real simple:
REQUESTED #for download next time or even refresh
DOWNLOADED or FULL etc. # have the full article
HEADER #just have header
etc. maybe add them as an upwardly compatible addition.

Anyways, I can now see the first letter of each X-NOFFLE-Status item
from the gnus summary buffer without peeking further, triggering
unwanted requests. It is in http://jidanni.org/comp/gnus.el.txt.gz

J> trn, a most venerable newsreader to which I am still addicted

well, I bet you can't tell the status of articles there without
"invasive testing", "did I have that spam?", "No, but now it has been
requested".
