Yes.  But textual content looks beautiful in Emacs.  And it is kinda
customary to be presented with the buffer you are saving in Emacs.
Although this might be regarded as "copying" instead.  I don't know.
I'll change it to whatever y'all want.  Should the buffer be displayed
or not?  Poll time.

Yup.  Fix in Pterodactyl Gnus v0.35.

Sounds nice; I'll apply the patch.

Er...  Yes, one really should.  But that kinda makes all the
highlighting and everything away, which makes things a bit awkward.
Hm.  Well, after we have divided all the display functions up into
"highlight" and "wash" functions, we could re-run all the wanted
"highlights", and not do the "wash" functions.  I think that should do
the trick.
