Maybe it can be made shorter? Mark as unread (nil)? (nil=>none, t=>all, some=>all downloaded) I'm still of two minds regarding the two parentheses. It might be not quite clear that the first one is the default. Hm. Is it really necessary to use nil and t, can't we just use none, all, and some or something similar? Or perhaps single letters? Mark (n)o / (a)ll / all (d)ownloaded articles as unread? (n) Mark as unread: none, all, some (all downloaded)? (none) Which articles to mark as unread? (none) (In this variant, rely on completion to show the possible values. One of the values could be the lengthy "some (all downloaded)", or perhaps just "all downloaded".) -- ~/.signature
