Those quotation prefixes are becoming kind of decorative, aren't they?

In the Summary buffer.  You position the cursor over the summary line
of the article you want to `open' all raw, with no rendering, and type
`C-u g'.  You may then handle it other commands with `B m', for example.

You may use `RET' instead of `SPC' to enter a group with no article
displayed, that is, to get just the summary.

But all such stunts, which are a bit too usual in my opinion, would be much
less necessary if Gnus knew how to lazy-render.  Whatever the way, it would
not be slow.  Knowing how to stunt allows users to have a more comfortable
behaviour, yet I do not think one should have to know these tricks.
