There are so many top-level menus that they might not even fit on a
typical 80 column frame depending on the fonts.

The only  commands from Edit that might be useful are:

- Copy
- Select All
- Goto / *

Others?

Maybe it would be better to remove the Tools menu instead?

We have this since 1997 and I don't recall many complaints.  So at
least we would make it customizable (similar to
message-tool-bar-zap-list).

(defcustom gnus-menu-bar-zap-list
  '((t tools) ;; turn of tools many in all special Gnus buffers
    (category edit)
    (article nil) ;; keep edit in Article buffer
    (group edit)
    (server edit)
    (browse edit)
    (summary edit))
[...]

Bye, Reiner.
