C-u space

C-u space

[Luis Fernandes]

I would like to suggest placing "C-u space" in Gnus Group menu.

For some reason, this has got to be the most non-intuitive
key-sequence in the history of mankind, considering how many times
the question on retrieving all the read articles in a group has been
asked.

Here is a patch that does this.

I have an entry `See old articles' in my Group menu as of 5.0.9.  Did
I miss something here?

(N.B. I don't use menus) 

My suggestion was based on the appearance, in the gnus newsgroup, of
a question (every couple of weeks) asking how to do this.

I therefore assumed that a menu entry did not exist or if it did, its
function was not clear (perhaps the wording was unclear).

That funtion was indeed in the menus, but the keystroke wasn't
displayed in the menu.
