September Gnus 0.52, Emacs 19.30.1

1) I've noticed that when I respond to someone's mail with, the article is
displayed in the other buffer as the *gnus article copy* buffer.  Is this
done to provide non-fontified/text-property text?  I'd much rather see the
original *Article* buffer (if it has been displayed).


2) When I do 'Az' in the *Group* buffer to list the zombies, I usually just
kill them off and then return to the standard listing with 'l'.  However,
this set the point at the bottom of the listing, rather than wherever I was
when I listed the Zombies.  I assume this is an artifact of killing off
each group in the zombie list, ending with the point at the end of the
empty list (and at the end of a *Group* buffer).


3) When I exit a group, I frequently want to iconify the emacs frame in
which gnus is displayed.  However, when the *Group* buffer is displayed the
frame de-iconifies.  This does not happen when I go immediately to the next
group (with 'n n' or something) and iconify the window.  I'm not sure
whether this is a feature of emacs, wanting to show me an important message
in the echo space, or if it is something happening in Gnus to do with the
handling of frames.  Although I'm not using multiple frames for Gnus, I do
use multiple frames for other reasons.


4) I just got mail resent from a friend, Mike.  When I did 'from' at the
Unix prompt I was told that the message was from the person in the
Resent-From: or the From header which were both Mike.  Gnus, of course,
tells me the message is from the person in the From: header.  What is the
correct behavior?  Should Mike's mailer not have filled in the From header
with his name?  Should Gnus check the From header or the From: header?


That should be enough for now.
