'/ n' narrows to articles marked with #. You can then use '/ w' to widen the Summary buffer back to the way it was before the narrowing. Thanks to Kai who posted this once upon a time. Well, here's larsi's explanation from the manual at Gnus->The Summary Buffer->Limiting: `/ n' Limit the summary buffer to the current article (`gnus-summary-limit-to-articles'). Uses the process/prefix convention (*note Process/Prefix::.). `/ w' Pop the previous limit off the stack and restore it (`gnus-summary-pop-limit'). If given a prefix, pop all limits off the stack. bw -- Bill White . billw@wolfram.com . http://members.wri.com/billw
