Hi,
I've modified the message-exchange-point-and-mark function (for
Emacs) so that it doesn't activate region if it was inactive.
The message-xmas-exchange-point-and-mark function works
similarly by default, which has been made by SL Baur as follows:
Fri Jun 14 04:30:30 1996 Steven L. Baur <steve@miranova.com>
* messagexmas.el (message-xmas-exchange-point-and-mark): New
function.
(message-xmas-dont-activate-region): New variable.
I got a report from Hiroshi Fujishima. When transient-mark-mode
is t and the `F' command is performed in the article buffer,
region is activated in the message buffer. It is useless, but
natural because the exchange-point-and-mark function reactivates
the mark (see the docstring). However, I have a doubt that
region isn't activated when the same command is performed in the
summary buffer. Does anyone know what is the difference between
gnus-article-followup-with-original and
gnus-summary-followup-with-original? Even if you've updated Gnus,
you can reproduce it with the following:
(defalias 'message-exchange-point-and-mark 'exchange-point-and-mark)
Regards,

Yeah, that has annoyed me a few times as well. Thanks for fixing it.
BTW, perhaps
(message-mark-active-p)
is slightly nicer than
(symbol-value 'mark-active)

I'm not quite sure if this is what you're asking about, but the main
difference is that g-article-f-w-o yanks the region (if it's active)
to the reply, which is very cool.
g-summary-f-w-o yanks the entire message.

Thanks. I've fixed it.

Please don't mind. It is good that g-summary-f-w-o doesn't
activate region in the message buffer. I was not simply able to
find out what deactivates the region after exchange-point-and-mark
activates it.

Yes, indeed.
