Yes.

I'll work on that, good idea.

I would suggest these bindings:

M b		gnus-summary-set-bookmark
M B		gnus-summary-remove-bookmark
C-u M b         gnus-bookmark-set
C-u M B         gnus-bookmark-delete (see below)
M j             gnus-bookmark-jump
M l             gnus-bookmark-bmenu list

Surprisingly enough, `M l' `M j' are still free, both in the Summary
and the Group buffers.

But maybe you prefer not to mix gnus-summary-*-bookmark and
gnus-bookmark-*.

Thanks.

Right, i'll do that.

Okay.

Was on my todo list.  I guess `gnus-bookmark-delete' will delete the
*real* bookmark, not the position set with `M b' if any.

Right.  I'll fix it.

I will send another e-mail to double-check this issue.
