The Invasion of the Zombie Summaries

The Invasion of the Zombie Summaries

[Kai Großjohann]

I enter a group, read a message, begin composing a followup.  I
realize that I need to read more info from that group.  So I use C-x b
to switch to the summary buffer, hit M-g to fetch new mail, select one
of the new articles that I find.  I find what I'm looking for, so I
use C-x b to switch back to the followup I was composing.  I finish
the followup.  I hit C-c C-c.  

I get warped into a dead summary buffer rather than the live one!

Can you reproduce this behavior?  Where does the dead summary buffer
come from?

M-g exits from the summary buffer, then reenters the group.  Try "/ N"
instead.

I couldn't find the function gnus-summary-insert-new-articles 
in the info pages.  Did I miss it, or does this need to be
documented.

Great feature, thanks for pointing it out.

That works much better, thanks.
