Bug in toolbar? and some minor toolbar comments.

Bug in toolbar? and some minor toolbar comments.

[verzani]

How come when I use GNUS (0.67) & XEmacs 19.14 to read mail the
toolbar gets switched around? The position of the "catchup and exit"
and the "catchup" buttons are reversed from normal?

Some further comments about the toolbars:

a) How come there is no pretty-print article button? I can't even find
   a print article command in the pull down menus.

b) In *mail* mode, shouldn't there be some more
   buttons. eg. mail-send-and-exit, yank-original, insert-signature,
   etc. There is all that real estate just sitting idle.

c) I often want to get new mail or news. To do this I have to type g
   or scroll down a menu (ugh!). How about having a yank button in the
   mail and news sending toolbar, and freeing up those two buttons
   ("mail a reply and yank the original" and "post a followup and yank
   the original") for some other useful buttons.

It's message mode, and I agree there should be at least a "send" and a
"cancel" icon.

Yup.  Fix in Red Gnus v0.70.

Is there such a command?

Those buttons have yet to be drawn.

No, there's a toolbar button in the group buffer for getting new
news.

Yup.  It's called `ps-print-buffer-with-faces' :-).  It does a pretty
good job with messages in Gnus.

I've now added a command (`A P') and menu bar entries and stuff for
this.

The problem with this command is that it will print the entire buffer,
including the hidden headers. :(  I don't like that -- I can get all
the headers easily if I want to (by pressing `t').

Yup.  Fix in Red Gnus v0.71.

Speaking of that, could you add the feature that a prefix argument
behaves the way it does with ps-print-buffer-with-faces?  The
following simple patch soves it:
