Hi,

people often get confused about the different composing/posting
commands[1].  Especially `f'/`F' versus the "wide" reply commands.

Could someone who understands the subtle differences fix the following
items?

1) The doc-strings for `F' and `f' don't explain what happens in mail
   groups:

,----[ `C-h k F' ]
| F runs the command gnus-summary-followup-with-original
|    which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `gnus-msg'.
| (gnus-summary-followup-with-original N &optional FORCE-NEWS)
| 
| Compose a followup to an article and include the original article.
`----

,----[ `C-h k f' ]
| f runs the command gnus-summary-followup
|    which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `gnus-msg'.
| (gnus-summary-followup YANK &optional FORCE-NEWS)
| 
| Compose a followup to an article.
| If prefix argument YANK is non-nil, [...]
`----

2) (info "(gnus)Summary Mail Commands") should explain `f' and `F'.

Bye, Reiner.
