So Gnus shows you the original article buffer, thinking that maybe you want to copy and paste some part that wasn't shown in the *Article* buffer. Hm. I wonder whether that's a convincing argument. I just wanted to present it. It might even be the real reason why things are that way :-) Does anyone remember what was being said about this back in the mists of time. I think that Lars talked about this behavior, but I don't remember specifics. It could have been anytime between 1996 and 2000, say. kai -- ~/.signature is: umop 3p!sdn (Frank Nobis)
