Right, this does the right thing.

What I was hoping to do was something like

(save-restriction
  (...narrow to some region...)
  ...do some work...
  (widen)
  ...do more work...
  )

but this would widen it to the full buffer, correct?

In any case, it's easy to re-work the code I'm working to just wrap
the areas where I narrow with save-restriction.  Thats better than
copying the whole article to a separate buffer...since the message
could be very large.

Thanks for the help,
