Actually, I don't mind any option.  When I started using Gnus to read
digest mails (I don't recollect for normal mails), I found it initially
annoying.  Then I got used to it as it saved 1 <down arrow> key press.

Now that it's changed again, I'll learn it over again.  At least it
appears to fit the principle of least surprises from a user
perspective. 

Thanks anyway.
