I lost count of the number it times it bit me when I was experimenting 
with pgnus yesterday.  If group (re)entry weren't so bloody slow on
large groups it might not be much of an issue.

A lot of people use TM with Gnus and we're going to be in a world of
unnecessary pain.

Yes, it does make sense.

?  SPC should probably do a page forward, or move to the next MIME
multipart.

Hmm.  Widening would make more sense.  I haven't checked recently, but
the last time I entered a digest, hitting a `q' (in the *Summary*
buffer not *Article* buffer) popped the digest but didn't exit the
group.
