This should be exactly what happens when you mark a number of articles and press `r'.

What Andy is describing is marking several articles, then doing a Reply with Original on all of them. The net effect is to have one cited article containing the contents of all the marked articles. This isn't a good feature, it's a great feature (assuming you trim all the attributions appropriately). It does look buggy, but it's probably only a line or two of fixes away from actually working, (with the new To:/Cc: collection code being put into 0.15). Problems I observed: * Super Cite prompts end up displayed in the minibuffer with the buffer changed elsewhere. * The To: line should reflect all of the articles being collected, (instead of just the first marked article). Assuming this can be fixed, `r' should then work as Andy suggests. Documenting it requires adding somewhere that R and r respect the prefix/process conventions. -- steve@miranova.com baur
