The problem with using the process marks for that is that it would
make it more difficult to execute commands that normally react to the
process mark -- like saving articles, for instance.

I've now added a variable to control whether the summary buffer should
disappear when you start reading the articles.  The summary buffer
will be limited to the process-marked ("picked") articles first,
though.

Uhm... moving the `B' commands to one-key keystrokes.  `B DEL' -
`DEL', `B m' -> `m', etc.  Perhaps not marking mail as read when you
read it.  Making Gnus more "mail-readerly", sort of.  But I don't
really like the idea, so I'm trying to be as unconvincing as
possible.  :-)

Great!  I've really missed a function like that.  Will it be run on
all files automatically, or is it something I'll have to call
explicitly?
