Article hiding functions -- toggles or not

Article hiding functions -- toggles or not

[Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen]

All the article hiding functions (the ones under `W W-') currently
unhide when given a prefix and hide when you don't give them a prefix.
It has been suggested that the functions should toggle hiding instead
-- `W W s' would toggle whether to hide the signature, `C-u -1 W W s'
would unhide the signature, and `C-u 1 W W s' would hide the
signature.

So this is a poll:  Should the hiding functions be toggles or not?

Yes.  And it would be nice to make them persistent like M-t is.  I
know you can always M-ESC (setq ...), but that's not very
convenient most of the time.

Hmm, if that means I can do W W s to unhide, followed by W W s to hide
again, then I vote yes. If that means that W W s only takes effect
when the next article is displayed, then the answer is no.

hi,

	Personally, I would vote for a toggle (save wear on my pinkie)
