How to forward/digest lots of messages?

How to forward/digest lots of messages?

[Jack Twilley]

I have a string of fifty to sixty emails in different groups that I'd
like to digestify and mail to someone.  What's the best way to do
this?  S O m only works if the process-marked messages are in the
current group.

Jack.

There might be a command now which allows you to select an article in
a summary buffer then attach it to a currently composed message.  Not
sure about this, though.

Otherwise, you'll have to copy the articles to a scratch group, then
`S O m' from there.  Hm.

(You could also save them to a file with `O m' or so, then `G f' that
file, rather than creating a scratch group.)

How about a virtual group? This might be an acceptable solution if the
emails are split across only a couple of groups.  I assume you can
then process-mark anything in the virtual group concurrently.

Of course, a virtual group is also possible.  Maybe even an nnkiboze
group?

I find G f a pain, because you can't delete the groups it creates with
G del, you can only unsubscribe from them ("this backend does not
support group deletion").  Right now, I have taken to manually editing
the newsrc.eld file to fix this, but is there a better way?

Thanks

        Doesn't C-k do the thing ?

I was used to G del, which is gnus-group-delete-group, but C-k,
gnus-topic-kill-group, does do the right thing.  Thank you.

The manual and the functions' documentation don't mention the
difference between the two functions.  Maybe under the Foreign Groups
node entry for gnus-group-delete-group this should be mentioned.
