(Gnus->Mark Limit) I really don't see the connection between "Mark Limit" and "Show me only articles, where [from|score|subject|date|...] is ..." In fact I don't really understand what "Mark Limit" does mean after all. (But the reason for this might be my poor English.) Nevertheless if it was called "filter articles" or something similar I think it would be clearer what the entries under this node do. -- One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie. 19.
