If the Gnus internals create a variable referring to the to-article, how
do I access it? Attempting to do perform an action with a variable
"to-article" produces the error:

Symbol's value as variable is void: to-article

So, the only variables I seem to be able to access are the ones passed
by gnus-summary-article-move-hook to the hooked function: (action
data-header from &optional to method). And here the value of "to" is
only the destination group, not the destination message.
