First of all: `M P a' is almost never the right command.  What it does
more than `M P b' is _only_ useful for uuencoded multipart binaries.

If you simply want to process mark all articles in a buffer, then `M P
b' is the way to go.

We really ought to find a better label for it in the menu (the current
description isn't very clear).

I can't reproduce the behaviour you're describing.  Hmm, I see you are
using Oort 0.20.  Try to upgrade -- things that might be related have
changed since then.
