scroll to message body in article/summary view?

scroll to message body in article/summary view?

[Eric S Fraga]

Hello,

I have colleagues/collaborators that do not understand the use of either
BCC or LCC and so I receive some emails that have hundreds (literally)
of recipients.  It takes quite some time to scroll down the message to
find the start.  Although I can go to the end and then scroll back up
(which is what I do), I wonder if there is already a gnus command for
moving quickly to the message body start?

Thank you,
eric

From the Summary buffer `h' (gnus-summary-select-article-buffer) will go
to the message body start at least the first time you type it to make
the Article buffer current (if you then move point lower down in the
message body and type `h' twice, the second one will go the that point
instead of the message body start).

(add-function :filter-args (symbol-function 'gnus-article-set-window-start)
	      (lambda (args) (cons 0 (cdr args))))

Thereʼs no need to go to the Article buffer:

    < runs the command gnus-summary-beginning-of-article (found in
    gnus-summary-mode-map), which is an interactive byte-code-function in
    `gnus-sum.el'.

    It is bound to <, A b and A <.

    (gnus-summary-beginning-of-article)

    Scroll the article back to the beginning.

Ah, perfect!  I do use h quite often but had never actually absorbed the
fact that it moved point to the start of the body of the message!

Thank you,

Thank you.  These work perfectly and somehow missed them when searching
the summary key map.
