# # # A P

[Michael R Cook]

If I mark multiple articles (# # #), and then try to print them (A
P), gnus-summary-print-article prints only one article--the one
point is on.  Is this a bug?  Or am I misunderstanding how # is
supposed to work?

Gnus doesn't currently use the process mark for all functions.

Maybe you just need to tell Lars about it when you spot a place you
think it's missing :-)

Yup.  Fix in Quassia Gnus v0.19.

If someone could give us a quick tutorial on how to convert a
typical #-oblivious function to be #-aware, we could send
patches, rather than just asking Lars to do the work.

The framework goes something like this, this is excerpt from my TinyGnus.el
package. Notice that I reset some hooks in #-processing functions.

(put 'tign-summary-map-articles-macro 'lisp-indent-function 0)
(defmacro tign-summary-map-articles-macro (&rest body)
  "Map through marked articles in Summary buffer.
The variable `nbr' has the current article number. Use command
 (return) to stop the loop."
  (`
   (let* ((articles (gnus-summary-work-articles nil))
          gnus-article-display-hook     ;Do not run this
          gnus-article-prepare-hook
          gnus-select-article-hook
          gnus-article-mode-hook
          gnus-visual-mark-article-hook
          )
     ;; (gnus-summary-save-process-mark)
     (dolist (nbr articles)
       (,@ body)
       ))))

Okay, this patch makes `gnus-summary-print-article' #-aware.  This
patch includes an interface change (`gnus-summary-print-article' was
a 1-option arg function, now it's a 2-optional arg function).

Of course, until your function of choice does support
process/prefix, you can always just make it act like it with M-&...
