Mysterious `C y' in Gnus manual sec. 7.4

Mysterious `C y' in Gnus manual sec. 7.4

[Štěpán Němec]

Hello,

in the Gnus manual, section "7.4 Score File Format", we read:

  [...]
  `orphan'
  [...]

     When you enter the group the first time, you will only see the new
     threads.  You then raise the score of the threads that you find
     interesting (with `I T' or `I S'), and ignore (`C y') the rest.
     Next time you enter the group, you will see new articles in the
     interesting threads, plus any new threads.


What is meant by `C y' here? In the summary, `C' is bound to
`gnus-summary-cancel-article', which doesn't make much sense to me
here...?


Best regards,

  Štěpán

I think Lars meant `c y' here.  I.e., catch up and answer the prompt you
get unless gnus-expert-user is set.  Let's see if I manage to fix the
manual in the new and shiny git repository :-).

Ah! That makes sense now, thanks! Actually Bill O'Connor (whom I hereby
added to the Cc: header) replied with a similar explanation,
unfortunately off-list and without mentioning the `y', so it still
didn't feel quite right... ;-)

Thanks again (and good luck with the commit),
