Toggling quoted text in and out of existence by whapping "writes:"
with button-2 causes quotation depth colorization to be lost, even in
quotation levels not being toggled.

On the positive side, however, whapping "writes:" actually makes
quoted text toggle in and out of existence, rather than performing
way-funky things to the header, as happened in p0.77. :-)

While compiling 0.78 under Emacs 20.3 we get the following :

While compiling the end of the data in file /home/lee/lib/emacs/site-lisp/pgnus-0.78/lisp/mml.el:
  ** the function add-minor-mode is not known to be defined.

add-minor-mode is an XEmacs thingy; Gnus should use
`gnus-add-minor-mode' which does the Right Thing under both Emacsen.

add-minor-mode appears to be an XEmacs-ism.  Followup in p0.78 works
fine for me under 21.2-b9.

Is this the cause of the compilation warning:

While compiling the end of the data in file /home/paul/emacs/pgnus-0.78/lisp/mml.el:
  ** the function add-minor-mode is not known to be defined.

?

Trying to followup under pgnus v0.78 gives me symbol's function
definition is void: add-minor-mode, rendering it somewhat less useful
than it might be.

Thanks, that's fixed things. mml.el now compiles fine under GNU emacs
20.3

Yup.  Fix in Pterodactyl Gnus v0.79.

For me ( using Gnu emacs 20.3 ), the whapping of "writes:" does really
odd stuff.  The first whap results in correct text-removal, but the
second whap only brings back a single line of the previously-removed
text. A subsequent whap removes this one line and a further whap brings
back two lines. From then on all odd-numbered whaps remove the text and
even-numbered whaps bring back some, but not all, of the text.

I'm unable to reproduce this in 0.79...

Toggling quoted text works nicely here, with Gnus 0.79. One thing
though: if a message has more than one level of quoting, e.g like:

A writes:
> B writes:
> > yadda-yadda-yadda
> > yadda-yadda-yadda
> > yadda-yadda-yadda
> blah-blah-blah
> blah-blah-blah
> blah-blah-blah

then whapping A's 'writes:' will toggle what A had to say, not what B
said. IMHO it is more natural that included qotes will be toggled by
an enclosing writes: as well... Or could it be an option? Thanks.

Uhm...  I don't think it's worth adding much complexity to this.  If
you want to hide cited text, then you should use `W W c' or the like.

Hmm. I just created a new account with no .newsrc, .gnus.el or .emacs
and I still get this behaviour. I started emacs with --no-site-file and
.emacs had only lines to add the pgnus directory to the path. .gnus
didn't exist.

I also get the oddness on 0.78, but not 0.76 ( I don't have 0.77 ).  
W W c works just fine, though.

If you could point me to the whapping code, I will try and look into it.

The function that does the toggling is `gnus-cite-toggle' in
gnus-cite.el.
