:-) I've included this in Red Gnus 0.80. It might also be nice if
the command offered the acronym under point as the default... And
perhaps there should be a `buttonize-acronym' command to buttonize
acronyms (gee!), so that you could just click on the acronyms to see
what they meant. (I don't know how to recognize what is an acronym,
though. All three-character-or-more upper-case character words that
aren't followed by other upper-case words?)
