Hi,
menubar Commands Hide Signature in Article mode does not show/hide `s' in
the mode-line, but the signature itself is shown/hidden.
BTW - what about making these letters "active" so e.g. Mouse-2 on `s' will
toggle signature visibility? 'help-echo on this letter is nice, but that
would be nicer ;-)

Yup. Fix in Oort Gnus v0.04.

Hm... Do people really click around on the mode line?

I expect people to do that more and more, especially newbies. Now
that there are nice tooltips in the mode line, and stuff...

In that case, I think it would be nice if tooltips and clickability
was added to the characters.
At present, they are generated by the `gnus-article-wash-status'
function, which just returns a string. The mode line is updated by
`gnus-set-mode-line'. I'm guessing that there'll have to be voodoo in
that function to add these mousey thingies? Or what?

I don't know, but I think it is enough to just return a propertized
string (with the `help-echo' text property?).
Ah. Cf the following node in the lispref for Emacs 21:
/----[ Properties in the Mode Line ]
|
| Properties in the Mode Line
| ---------------------------
|
| Starting in Emacs 21, certain text properties are meaningful in the
| mode line. The `face' property affects the appearance of text; the
| `help-echo' property associate help strings with the text, and
| `local-map' can make the text mouse-sensitive.
|
| There are three ways to specify text properties for text in the mode
| line:
|
| 1. Put a string with the `local-map' property directly into the
| mode-line data structure.
|
| 2. Put a `local-map' property on a mode-line %-construct such as
| `%12b'; then the expansion of the %-construct will have that same
| text property.
|
| 3. Use a list containing `:eval FORM' in the mode-line data
| structure, and make FORM evaluate to a string that has a
| `local-map' property.
|
| You use the `local-map' property to specify a keymap. Like any
| keymap, it can bind character keys and function keys; but that has no
| effect, since it is impossible to move point into the mode line. This
| keymap can only take real effect for mouse clicks.

That would be a very convenient way of doing it -- then the
`gnus-article-wash-status' could just return a string with the
required text props set.

That would be the way to do it, then.
I don't mouse much, so could someone else implement this?

It is very easy in GNU Emacs - look at the function propertize and how it
is used. Just put 'local-map property on these characters along with
current 'help-echo and you are done.

I added the tooptip properties to the string some month ago (it is in
CVS Gnus), and it worked fine. At the same time, I also tried adding
the mouse properties, but got no effect.
