[0.97] `T #' oddness and `T ?' suggestion

[0.97] `T #' oddness and `T ?' suggestion

[Hannu Koivisto]

Greetings,

Has anyone else experienced that `T #' marks articles as it should
but then throws cursor to a more or less random location?  Once it
threw the cursor to the beginning of the buffer and once few
articles forward from the article immediately after the thread I
marked.

A bit unrelated suggestion: what would you say about making `T ?' a
default binding for marking current thread's articles (forward from
the current one, just like `T #') as dormant?  I'd also like to see
something like `C-u T #' always mark _the whole thread_ instead of
threads's articles forward from the current one.  The same extends
to `T ?', of course.

In pick mode, this is still a problem.  The attached patch fixes it:
