Oh well.  Other ways I can think of:

a) You didn't like a key to set threading from the *group* buffer -- is
   that because you'd have to duplicate a lot of *summar* things in the
   *group* buffer?  If so, generalize: "K S keys" will execute "keys" on
   behalf of the next summary buffer to be entered (or it will be saved
   and executed *when* the next summary buffer is entered).  K A -- for
   the next *article* buffer.  K G -- for the "next" *group* buffer:-)

b) A key (and possibly a per-group flag) to enter a group without
   threading, scoring and filling the summmary buffer.  Maybe it'd just
   show a single "article" named "get summary".  Then we could set
   threading/scoring flags from the summary buffer and *then* push SPC
   to generate the summary.
   (BTW, the key could be ^G: Let ^G while entering a group take us to
   the *summary* buffer instead of back to the *group* buffer.)

c) The same, but you don't enter the summary - you get the *article*
   buffer *without* summary.  Then you can read news without a summary
   buffer, or you can do stuff on behalf of the group, and enter (thus
   generating) a summary.

Hope I'm not totally off target; I don't quite remember how this thread
started.
