Did you suggest "R" because of the existing bindings for `bookmark-*'
or is there some other rationale?

It would be nice to integrate the current `gnus-summary-*-bookmark'
functions into your code (i.e. jump to a specific place within an
article).

,----[ (info "(gnus)Setting Marks") ]
| `M b'
|      Set a bookmark in the current article
|      (`gnus-summary-set-bookmark').
| 
| `M B'
|      Remove the bookmark from the current article
|      (`gnus-summary-remove-bookmark').
`----

As for the key bindings, we might steal `M B' (or even `M b'?) and use
it as prefix for all `gnus-bookmark-*' and `gnus-summary-*-bookmark'
commands.  What do people think?  `gnus-bookmark-jump' and
`gnus-bookmark-bmenu-list' should probably be available also from the
Group buffer.

I've installed this version with some modifications:

	* gnus-bookmark.el: Fix Copyright, keywords, whitespace, etc.
	(gnus-bookmark-default-file): Use gnus-directory.
	(gnus-bookmark-bmenu-file-column, gnus-bookmark-use-annotations):
	Remove "*" in doc string.
	(gnus-bookmark-write-file): Simplify.
	(gnus-bookmark-maybe-sort-alist): Use `when'.
	(gnus-bookmark-get-bookmark): Fix typo in doc string.
	(gnus-bookmark-set-bookmark-name, gnus-bookmark-get-bookmark): Add
	FIXME about Emacs 21 and XEmacs compatibility.
	(gnus-bookmark-set-bookmark-name): Use `gnus-replace-in-string' for
	compatibility.
	(gnus-bookmark-bmenu-mode): Use `gnus-run-mode-hooks' for
	compatibility.

Currently it doesn't work on Emacs 21 and XEmacs 21.4 because of
incompatible use of `split-string' and `assoc-string'.  This should be
fixed.

Further remarks:

- Maybe we should initialize the defcustoms from the corresponding
  `bookmark.el' variables?

- WIBNI there was a command `gnus-bookmark-delete' (without using
  `gnus-bookmark-bmenu-list')?

- `gnus-bookmark-bmenu-delete' should error out when not called from
  the right buffer (*Gnus Bookmark List*).

But in the entry for "EMACS MUSE" there is still the wrong name.  The
Copyright Administrator should fix this.

Bye, Reiner.
