Do h E E E E...

Here we are with a full screen *Article* window.

Sooner or later those E's will get to the final message,

There should be a warning: no more messages.

Currently it just shows the last message *again*

There should at least be a warning.

What mutt does in such cases is just exit (full) Article view, changing into

This wakes the user up... else the user will just read the same article
over again... until halfway down he thinks, "Did I read this before?"

There is a warning, but it's at gnus-verbose = 7, so you might not be
seeing it.
