Strange, I would have expected one of the arguments to be the article
itself, not just the header. If I want a function called by a hook to do
something with the raw article, how can I get the raw article passed to
the function? Or can I simply call gnus-summary-save-in-pipe from within
the function and it would know to act on the article(s) presently being
moved or deleted? My knowledge of Emacs Lisp is still rudimentary and
maybe I don’t understand the scoping.
