Sometimes, when reading large groups, I want to catch up on a block of
posts with C-w, but misplace the mark and catch up on far more than I
wanted.
Unfortunately there's no undo for C-w, or is there?
I know I can go back to the group buffer and do undo there,
but that usually undoes far more than I wanted to undo (just the last
C-w)
Is there a way to make this work?
Thanks,
-Andi

No, there's no undo in the summary buffer. But you can just `Q' out if
you do something very wrong, but...

... that usually undoes more than you wanted to. :-/
All the summary commands can be made undoable, but it would slow down
normal operations somewhat, and I'm not sure it's worth the added
complexity...
